The term is being bounced around by anyone talking about the Canadiens these days, but has anyone ever looked at what the word “rebuild” actually means? “But clearly, your timeline is shortened when you pick up prospects instead of draft picks.” Hughes’ words must sound good to Gallagher, who said when Gorton was hired two months ago that he might …
