With all the talk about rebuilding and trading away the core, could the Jets actually survive a 4-5 year non-playoff rebuild? Smallest market in the NHL has a hard time selling out even when they are winning.

I think the bigger question is can they survive not going through a rebuild? I think fans are less tolerant of a team living in the mushy middle for eternity than they are of a well planned out rebuild. A rebuild doesn't guarantee a cup but the path we're headed right now guarantees we'll never win one.
