Is acquiring cap dumps and getting 1st round picks...finishing the rebuild? Or truly starting it?

We're kinda playing the inbetween game right now.... so I guess starting it? Accelerating it I guess

I don't hate it.. but it might be a bit much, the only trade that strikes me as unrealistic is the EDM deal. They will probably just buy out Neal themselves rather than trade a prospect like Broberg. That D-core for next year would also be a huge risk, I would advocate for keeping one of Murphy or Keith. Will be an interesting summer regardless with their financial flexibility. Something else I found interesting is that in this scenario, you have two years left of Kane/Toews at 10.5, Connolly at 3.5, Ladd's money off the books, and retention on Keith off the books. Obviously some of that will go towards re-signing the young guys but Id say they should aim to be going for it in 3 years, hopefully with Toews and Kane at reduced salaries
