I think they tried to keep the band together for too long. However, since they finally decided to rebuild (or more likely, pushed into it), they have done a really fantastic job thus far. Proof will be in the pudding in the seasons to come, but it is difficult to not be high on them. Chicago also seemed to avoid the inevitable rebuild for too long, but also have a lot more question marks about their projection. They still have some time to turn things around, but it is difficult not to put San Jose as the much more likely franchise from the two to achieve a higher degree of success in the seasons to come.
