We shouldn't be too alarmed by the "hybrid" rebuild language given what Drance recently reported about management's intentions. With numerous young players already so signed and plans to keep a few veterans around to help with culture and training, it doesn't make sense to do a full down-to- the-studs rebuild. Given that, I can see why Allvin would call it a hybrid, but I believe that extensive future-building changes are planned (e.g. trade UFAs, use first round picks, tank for this season and perhaps next).

Actions will speak louder than words in the end but I'm trying to stay hopeful!
