There’s no evidence ownership and management want a deep rebuild. They’ve turned some expiring contracts into assets, and they expect to draft high for the next season or two. But they aren’t tearing it down the studs, as much as many fans want them to.
They want a quick turnaround on this thing. And given how hard it is to get veterans to play in small Canadian markets, the only way I see them moving Andersson is if he says he doesn’t want to stick around.
