Tear it down? Can this fanbase get behind a rebuild?

I think we al enjoyed the first couple of Hartley years because it was the first time in a decade the team had young players to be excited about.

This current group is still to young to tear down and to do it after the pandemic is premature. It is highly likely in hindsight now may look like the best time to blow it up but in the hear and now I think they need to retool it and try and win while the hall of fame coach still wants to work.

And look at our division this year. Other than Vegas, Edmonton is our biggest competition. Might as well go for it the next two years.

I wouldn't write Seattle off after seeing what Vegas has done.

Granted they will have to get fortunate to be THAT good, I would certainly bet on them being a well above average and very deep team with strong D and goaltending.
