rebuilding
I think there are different approaches to the so called rebuild, its hard to rebuild without something to build around, of course we want to bring in as much young asset as we can, but then again, it would be hard for these kids that we bring into the team to make it without some on ice guidance, and to continue to loose season after season doesn't exactly foster the winning attitude to compete. its easy to sign guys that been in the league for sometime, but its not easy to sign the better players to a team that's rebuilding, I think you still need to surround these kids with guys that knows how to score and play for them to learn from, forget other team's rebuilds, just look at our own "young gun" days, that didn't exactly pan out, except for iggy, which I think he played with better players.
you play a bunch of kids, you teams gonna most likely play like kids, you play a bunch of kids with proven scorers, chances are they gonna learn to do the same...
