I'd also accept first round picks in 2022 that are unprotected

Thank god we've stayed competitive the last few years. This fanbase couldn't take a rebuild.
- NorthNuck

Two things....God is with a capital “G”, and, we just went through an unintentional rebuild, where have you been? We survived! The past five seasons we finished 14th last, 9th last, 6th last, 2nd last & 3rd last, that’s how we got Podkolzin, Hughes, Pettersson & Juolevi.

I am told you can teach defense, but offense is different.

"Bill Torrey went back to Al Arbour and said, 'Here's our choice,'" Craig Button said. "'We can take this guy, he's a really good two-way player, more of a defensive player, really knows how to check. Or we can get this guy, he might be a prolific scorer at the NHL level, but his defense isn't good.' Al Arbour said to Bill Torrey, 'Let's take the scorer, I can teach him to check. I can't teach the checker how to score.'"

From 2nd last to 14th last in five seasons...excellent progression.

19th last next season?

But he still has to look at his sweater when asked what color is your green sweater?

Al took a point per game scorer and turned him into a poor checking centre.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you're responding to my sarcasm with sarcasm cause if you actually thought I was serious

2017 draft they sold their number 1 center and best goalie prospect for some draft picks. Rebuild begins.

So technically coming into year 4.

Raanta was 28, not quite a prospect.

And Zibanejad was already beginning to take over the #1 spot from Stepan at that point.

Raanta was an up and coming goalie.

So what you are saying is that really didn't go for a rebuild, they were just re-stocking on the fly?

Asset management - they still had The King, and two other goalie prospects that were better.
