I don't disagree with either point. That's not the point I'm making though.
The team won't be a contender in the next two years. They have a young promising goalie set to take over in two years anyway. If a team is willing to give you a young asset in a deal that can play in the NHL now and help fill holes you have even if it takes a couple of years you atleast consider it.
Trading one player with term doesn't mean you've gone into a rebuild. Whether you're rebuilding or retooling depends on what your focus is. We won't really have a clearer picture what direction Conroy is going until this summer.
