I don't really care if it's A, aside from the fact that I don't love being lied to. If it's B, then I think their desire to hold on to vets would result in a more prolonged rebuild, or one that doesn't quite have the assets to contend.
In my mind even if you don't win a cup, a successful rebuild ends with at least 5 seasons with titles - Division, Conference, President Trophy, and/or attending the Conference Final. The previous rebuild resulted in 2: 1 x 1st in the West and 1 x 1st in the Pacific.
