Ignoring the terms of rebuilding/retool/rewhatever.
The mandate is asset management , whatever you want to call it, and not tanking. Offer fair contracts to expiring players. Trade them if they refuse. Keep vets under contracts. Explore trade deals for u25 players.

And it might be semantics but for me a retool is trading a 27 year old asset for a 27 year old asset (or similar age asset) that can help you now. Every trade Conroy has done for real assets outside the Frost/Farabee trade has been for assets that will help the team in 5-7 years time.
