A real jerk thing
There is no quick return to contention: that's the reason we're in this mess. We don't have a foundation to contend with. If we did, then sure, holding on to Rackell or whoever makes some sense. But we don't and the pieces we do have make no sense with what the team is trying to do. EK65 shouldn't even be here, even if we were contending, since Sullivan doesn't want to use him in a way that is actually useful.
I still maintain that if we had one or two young (I don't mean 27+ here) pieces to build around, you could hope for a quick turn around, but we do not have those pieces yet. So in order to actually do something worthwhile, we need to find a way to get those. Otherwise, we're just swindling ourselves.
But lastly, even if we started the rebuild now, if properly done, we shouldn't be waiting 10 years to make it to the playoffs. That's simply ridiculous.
I mean, let's be honest, we're essentially throwing everything at the wall just to prop Sid up as a PPG player, we don't have anywhere near enough talent to realistically build around.

. But I'm assuming as long as Sid is still here that the goal is a quick return to contention and not a 10 year plan.
