You certainly get some painful years, that's for sure. But it will shorten the rebuild.
Now, if you draft poorly, the rebuild will continue. But that's true if you purposely keep some decent players or not. But the more draft picks you have, the better your chances are of getting some premium players and getting out of the rebuild.

You still need guys to mentor the kids. Guys like Goal-man, Backlund, Kadri, and Weegar are perfect in that role. I'd trade any of them if the offer was right, but wouldn't recommend getting rid of all vets just for the sake of tanking.
