So 4.0 is up next. Though the poster is right rebuild 5.0 will be within the next decade.

I think you've missed one. The way I see it:
1.0 was the Gagner, Cogliano, Brule, Schremp era, circa 2007-09
2.0 was the Hall, Eberle, Paajarvi, Omark, Hemsky, Penner era, circa 2010-12
3.0 was the Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakupov, Schultz dynasty circa 2012-14
4.0 was the McDavid,
Hall, Draisaitl, RNH, Klefbom era, circa 1015-19
1.0... "Honestly, I see 600 goals and 1,300 points!"
2.0... Oil Change - here come the Oilers!
3.0... Three #1 overalls - "it isn't a question of if, but how many!"
4.0... McGenerational! "It's a big change in Alberta, and it won't be changing back soon!"
The inevitable next rebuild will be 5.0 IMO.
The one consistency, through each of the first 4 rebuilds, is the unbridled bravado - even though they hadn't accomplished a thing yet, each new iteration was trumpeted in with chest pounding, unearned accolades, claims of grandeur, and absolute, blind arrogance.
And that is why we should never feel pity for their fans. ZERO humility, despite being the laughing stock of the NHL for 13 years and counting.
