Writing Option 2:

With Ryosuke Sato, the Toronto North Stars reached the conference finals in S58 or S59 if I am not mistaken and after that season, the team fell apart quite quickly with the departure of longtime GM ml and with Squally having to take the helm as our next GM Kluster immediately vanished after being hired. It was such a drastic swing in terms of momentum with players requesting to be traded soon after this debacle and Ryosuke Sato was also traded not too long afterwards as the team was entering another rebuild that was far too soon after their last. With that the team scattered, but what was held together was the memories that team made. This next rebuild ended quite quickly (albiet around 8 seasons of rebuilding) with GM Wally taking the helm and pushing some quick trades to rebuild the team to be competitive again the in mid S60s. Ultimately, the team needs to buy in and that's what needs to happen after a sharp downturn.
