We drafted pretty much every one of the forwards on this team. And none of them are high first round picks.
Yes we still have Lidstrom
Yes we signed Rafalski in this year
But generally speaking, it seems we have already done a rebuild once (during the 90's while remaining good) because in 2008 we won with this lineup. Just saying Holland may not be an idiot, seems he has rebuilt the team once already this way, and won a cup with it.
I am not saying Holland is doing the right things again. Or whatever. Just saying it is interesting that we basically drafted and built our own champs in 2008 with very little crossover in 6 years.
