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.

It's fine to try to re-start, but the previous effort is still relevant.
The Blackhawks are in season 8 of their attempted rebuild / cycle of drafting in the top 10.
Just because they are in season 3 of "Phase 2" of that rebuild doesn't make it any better, just means they already screwed up once.
In the end saying Chicago is in year 3 of a rebuild or San Jose is in year 2 is being too generous to them, Chicago has been drafting in the lottery consistently for 8 years now, San Jose for 6 years, that matters whether it was planned or not.
