I'm fairly sure the original AYRT wasn't saying it wouldn't be a big deal if the Blackhawks sucked and got #1 next year, they were saying shifting around the bottom 3/4ths of their teams in the following decline wouldn't count as rebuilding. They have to start from scratch, in many years after everything good in their system has rotted away. So... I guess you guys are basically saying the same thing? Which is why the arguing confused me.
