The owners typically make a huge amount of money when they do sell. A rebuild costs 10s of millions/year in lost revenue.
If you're rebuild could guarantee that sweet sweet playoff revenue it would be an easy choice, but many rebuilds result in more rebuilding. Look at Buffalo, Detroit, Columbus, Montreal, Anaheim, etc...
