So... how goes your rebuild?

Seem to be triggering this guy pretty good here... can't even see what he's saying (been on my ignore list for a while). What do you guys think? We're ahead of these teams? Better run? Should we have some perspective? What say TMLfans...
 
"Perspective" in this case being short hand for being amazed at the prospect of a team somehow being better run than the Buffalo Sabres.

I pretty much agree with this:

For all the hand-wringing that goes on around here I'm looking around the league and thinking what it would be like to be a fan-base in some of these cities with teams that after YEARS of drafting high should at least be competitive/fun to watch/.500 club by now. Two in the basement have superstar franchise centers in Buffalo and Edmonton. Arizona has drafted high defensemen and forwards and Colorado had really good window of draft-picks. If this 9-7 club gets this much bitching after really 2-3 years tanking pain imagine what's going on with the fans in THESE markets...

2-3 years of tanking pain! Holy crap we've been in the shitter a whole lot longer than that! 1967 was 50 years ago! I don't feel bad for any other hockey fans after what we've been through.
 
This is about a month old now, but it's a really good conversation about rebuilds from the perspective of someone who went through both versions: Teardown and On the Fly.
