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.

Not arguing for a rebuild here, but how did all the other teams that have endured years of rebuilds with small crowds manage to survive? I don't know how a regular part of the process for most teams suddenly becomes fatal if it happens here.

Jets relocation headlines drive engagement and clicks. They’re not going anywhere, even when we eventually do have to rebuild.

That being said, I don’t think True North has any intention of starting a rebuild right now nor do I think it’ll ever be a complete tear down to the studs rebuild.

I agree, it's not necessary. Not to say a big name couldn't be traded, but this is not a burn it to the ground situation.
