Yes I made a post to a similar reply. So I’ll just copy and paced it for ya. Not a direct response to your question but here you go Pretty much exactly what I mean. We are close to being a playoff team. It could happen as early as next year. But we are still building a team so that in 2-4 years we are a true contender. JB had come out and try and settle the fan base because expectations had grown since the bubble. But some fans got pissed with the 7 years blah blah blah. But it’s not 7 years at all it’s been more like 3 or 4 since a more real rebuild started.. Anyways point I’m making is the GM and Owner seem to be in line on staying the course but that doesn’t necessarily mean we are saying screw the next years we can’t compete. Cause we are pretty darn close. We should be a fringe playoff team over the next couple years, may get it in, may not. But they aren’t going to sit there and pretend like they aren’t trying to win. They are still going to put the best team forward without sacrificing the future. And no signing Pearson for a couple years isn’t sacrifice the future. At this point we probably aren’t trading anyone at the deadline. They are either injured or in protocol and it’s just too close to the deadline at this point. Talking to Pearson and his agent is smart. Yes there are other fish in the sea. But you can’t just go into free agency expecting to pick up the players you want or making dumb mock trades like the Palat one I saw on here. What makes a person think they can get Palat who has a NTC and is third in scoring forwards onTampa Bay. People make it sound so easy to be a GM, they think everyone and their dog would sign in Vancouver when in reality there’s options all over the league. Players have needs, families etc. It’s not as easy as oh just trade injured Pearson or oh just sign another plug for league minimum

[trade] Palmieri and Zajac to Islanders

I would have wanted the rebuild to start sooner then it did when I look back. But you’re right I wouldn’t take that away for anything. Maybe a cup but we’ll get there. Those last few games with the Sedins are incredibly special. Sometimes I go back and watch D.Sedins OT goal. Johns call on that gives me shivers everytime -

The first rounder seems like the only thing of significance for the Devils. Really good trade for the islanders -

Wow it feels like Zajac has been in the league for 20 years -
