Do you really think a player is just going to be like the team sucks and they are all embracing a tank? lol

Did Conroy not?
Any team looking for rentals isn't going to giving away key roster pieces.
But Conroy did target packages that included alot of current NHL players. Kuzmenko, sharangovich, miromanov and grushniko(prospect but going into d+4 year). Kuzmenko was really the only one that came off as any kind of cap dump from the other side. So conroy obviously wanted these guys.
We will just need to see how the rest of the offseason plays out.
If they deal picks/prospects for like Necas and sign any decently big UFA, it will be clear they're just retooling.
If they sell Markstrom and draft with all their picks, only make a minor UFA move, then that leans more to the rebuild side imo.
