How long should an NHL franchise 'rebuild' take you ask:

Benning wasn’t rebuilding in the true sense though. He was trying to compete while turning over the roster. And in his madness he traded important picks and young prospective players for guys already developed to speed things up. This is why we need to trade Miller, and Bo could go too if needed. We are miles away from being a consistent contender.
JR is smart. He will build a consistent winner.

We haven't been in a rebuild, we were just in decline as the twins wound down their careers and found ourselves spinning our wheels in mediocrity without a whole lot on the roster or in the cupboards. We didn't embrace a rebuild the way other teams have, and we haven't had the luck other bottom teams have had either. Yes, we were opportunistic with Pettersson and Hughes, but we haven't had lottery luck and we haven't had many hits beyond the first round.
Now that the young top end talent we had has graduated (Hughes, Boeser, Pettersson, Podz) there's a clearly lack of a wave following them. Trading away back to back 1st's didn't help regardless of what you think of Miller, Garland, and OEL. Which is why we should embrace a "step back" and build around our younger top end talent.
