We will just need to see how the rest of the offseason plays put.
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.

Kuzmenko made the cap work. Miramanov isn’t really a roster player. Grushnikov is a prospect.
Sharangovich was the only actual roster player grab and that was done before the season started.
Playoff teams won’t give up good roster players but they will sell mediocre ones if they think it improves their team. I’m sure Hanifin could have been turned into Jeannot and some other player
