This failed re-build is a fascinating one.
They got the benefit of high picks, but they ended up being inconsequential.
Then they got dragged back into contention when Panarin and Fox picked them, and Shesterkin emerged as an elite tender.
A weird combination of things.

This is why I think it’s silly to announce these things. You never know what falls into (or out of) your lap. You can say you’re rebuilding but if you end up with a late round superstar goaltender that prevents you from being rock bottom, what do you do? Whatever it is, it’s an adjustment of the plan.
