It seems pretty clear the retooling window runs through to when the new arena opens. If the team misses the playoffs every year until then, that’s still close to six straight years out, which isn't insignificant, but I wouldn't compare it to the full rebuilds the Sharks and Hawks are performing.
I imagine that the "building" moves, making trades and signing UFA's, are going to start over the next year or two.
It does sound like they made some swings this year in UFA, just that nothing connected.
Ownership doesn't have the patience for a full rebuild, and they’re clearly not inclined to force a tank either.

May not be a patience thing.
Perhaps they don't think a full tank works.
