Picking 9th for us is just getting started, we should get a piece. If we get into the top 3 next season, that's when we can say ok we got a franchise piece to build around. That doesn't mean the end of the rebuild, or you start trading out picks for immediate help, but you can start looking at a window of getting it turned around.

Yeah I agree it's not a light switch. That's why you need to start once you get these top guys and slowly work up step by step.
In the San Jose example if they get celebrini, they will still be a bottom 5 team next year but they should be looking to not be as bad. They should go from looking like a bad AHL team to being an actual NHL team. Sign a couple every day vets.
