Yes, I've been calling for a rebulid for the last decade. As far as I was concerned, this year would've been an awesome year to finish it off. Getting as many picks in this deep draft would set us up well for years. Maybe it's unnecessary and maybe we're good enough to start winning cups this year. We're definitely better than I thought we'd be this year. I figured we'd be a bubble team that would probably miss the playoffs and instead we're first in the East.
No way I thought we'd be this good. I was way wrong on this. I figured next year at the earliest we'd start to see some good teams emerge and then improve from there. It seems pretty clear that we're way ahead of where I thought we'd be. And unlike years past I don't see this as a fluke. The team may not improve in a linear fashion but I think that this the start of a period where we should be good for the next few seasons at least.
We still need some size in the top six but no team is perfect. Love the blueline prospects we have coming up too. We should be good for a long while.

I still think it makes sense to do this. But the return has to be great.
