Traded away a bunch of assets including a 6th OV pick (Jiricek) and 12th OV (Sillinger) for Jones
Korchinski and Nazar don't look that special.
They haven't given Bedard the support required to actually develop into a super star.
And even Levshunov is having an okay season in the AHL...maybe should have spent another year in the NCAA.
They haven't finished above 20th in the league since 17-18, and they've drafted high but I think you can question if they've drafted well, and they also made some bad moves to trade assets that were high picks away. So you can call it "Year 3" but really it's "Year 8" for Chicago.
Edit: For San Jose this is "Year 6"...they finished 29th OV in 19-20. Calgary would realistically be in "Year 2".

Once they dealt Dach the blew up the previous attempt to rebuild and started over again. Poor trades, drafting and prospects.
It's not going much better now.
These things takes time and sometimes it doesn't even work the first time. Obviously in Canada they feel different so we will see how it goes.
