   Summary

   When an NHL team loses far more often than it wins, a smart general manager will trigger a rebuild, a complete overhaul of the team's roster, strategy, and personnel.

   Generally speaking, there are five steps to any rebuild.

   1. Identify the problems
   2. Excise the rot
   3. Acquire better assets
   4. Set a new foundation
   5. Start praying

   A rebuild is a brutal, necessary business decision for the survival of the team.

   Nobody knows more about surviving brutal, necessary decisions than Kent Parson.
