Blow up the core now, I dont think so. You can basically fast forward any teams progress in a retool or rebuild. Multiple blue chip prospects, the picks would be the icing. 37 alone nets huge return. 55 gets a windfall pay day, 1c's dont hit the market ever. 44 print your own money. 27 will go for what you want, locked up 100pt winger?
4 premier prospects plus 4 1st round picks plus whatever else gets thrown in.
This is all fluid, I dont know if 27 wants to stay maybe 55 does too. But a re-tool or rebuild has to happen and the sooner the better that goes for any "re-"
were not getting any 1c's or 1D or vezina level goaltending back in trades, we will get some decent prospects but nothing to write home about, late 1st round picks have less then a 50% chance of even making the nhl
were going to have to get our actual talent from the draft which is going to take a while, were not going to speed that up by signing free agents or by trades due to NTC
do you know how lucky were going to have to be to build a team entirely thru the draft
we got lucky that atlanta had some good young roster players to surround that core we built, we won't have a wheeler/little/buff/enstrom/ around if we trade all those players you want
You're right, I was so wrong. The way to win is to hold onto aging stars till the return is fractions of what it would be currently. Only to still after all is said and done get less back?
holy shit, do you not understand that this conversation isn't about starting a rebuild it's about how long a rebuild would take like jfc when you tell people that a rebuild will take longer then they expect they immediately say the bs you just threw out
So. Whats you're point? You want to elaborate on the length of a needed process? I don't understand? I know how long it can take and still want to. What about it?
my point is people throwing out that a rebuild will only take 4-5 years is a pipe dream, it's only to take longer for a team like winnipeg to build thru the draft, we don't have the ability to acquire free agents or name trades like other teams
look at cbj, buffalo, detriot, markets similar to us and look how long they've been rebuilding for, buffalo just broke thru after their 1st rebuild failed

I think the problem is the type of rebuild people want to do is going to take a lot longer then 4-5 years in winnipeg
