I doubt Chicago wants to reset their timeline at all.
Their defensive core already looks in place with 21 year old and younger players, other than Vlasic, who I think is 23.
Nazar looked exceptionally good at the end of the season, in fact Chicago took a big jump late in the season. Not playoff jump, but a jump from bottom feeder.
They have perhaps the best prospects in the league and tons of draft picks in the next 2 years.
Getting Knight has likely filled in the missing large piece of their young puzzle.
They look to be further ahead than SJ, who have a better crop of young forwards, but are severely lacking on the back end. But forwards are easier to find than dmen.
