To be clear, I don't think that is a bad strategy, if you have a decent roster that you can work with.
But anyone who looks at this roster and thinks it can be fixed with some tinkering and a few draft picks along the way, is completely incompetent and should be fired immediately.

Well if the pieces you add on the fly to build the team are Frost, Farabee, Bahl Hanley, Bean, Lomberg, Pachal and Beecher I don’t think you have to worry about some sort of “disdain” for rebuilding. Those guys replaced Lindholm, Zadorov, Hanifin, Tanev. Kuzmenko, Mangiapane (along with losing Markstrom). Almost half those guys are probably not even really NHL players on 75% of the teams in the league. Can’t think of any other players they have really added to build on the fly since the end of 23/24. That is a pretty brutal effort at “try to add pieces and build on the fly”.
