Can a mini rebuild be done and is this the perfect year to do it?

I said likely better than the Flames. I never said it was a lock.

That's why I didn't pick all 11 teams.

I left out teams that need more than just Bedard. Anaheim. Montreal, Arizona, Chicago probably will need more players and a few years.

Colombus was the only bottom feeder I picked and it's mainly due to being devasted by injuries all year combined with other young players who will improve. It's not all about Bedard, but he will be an impact rookie.
