The Blackhawks are making the right call by embarking on a full-scale rebuild, and the Colorado Avalanche’s Stanley Cup journey is a reminder why.
Not every path to Stanley Cup contention is linear, like the Blackhawks' was during their dynasty era when they drafted Jonathan Toews third overall in 2006, Patrick Kane first overall in 2007, barely missed the playoffs in 2008, reached the Conference Final in 2009 and then hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2010. They kept taking steps forward when that's typically not always the case.
Perhaps the most frustrating part isn't that the Blackhawks are embarking on a full-scale rebuild. It's the fact it probably should've happened years ago, which would have allowed Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to see the other end of it. At this stage of their careers, it just doesn't feel like that will be the case.
