Have two second guy first pairing, or first guy second pairing defenders one needs a retirement contract that i think will age poorly and one approaching 35. Structurally the team is unsound and im not sure how anybody ( cough maloney ) sees it otherwise.
I mentioned before that this is one of the rare times that flames haves match league wants and i think it would be utterly foolish to not take advantage of that. Kadri is not going to get better nor is Backs, and this is probably peak Andersson.
The question is is what is a rebuild and what is a rebiggle? Rebuild to me would be jettisoning frost , Weegar, Zary so on.
To me the right approach is take advantage of the market on declining players and rebiggle! Andersson for sure, coleman for sure this year. Kadri you keep until someone blows your socks off, we need to still play a team and you keep good relations with the player.
If someone offers gold for some of our bronze do it but that would be my gameplan for this year.

If they trade Kadri and Coleman, they are rebuilding. You don't need to trade every vet player, just the ones where it is a no brainer to trade them.
