Cant we suck for 2-5 years and then go into win-now mode?

Very frustrating that they would make a short-sighted move to bandage the Giordano injury when we could have promoted from within.
Short sighted?
Ladislav Smid is signed for three more seasons after this one and is only 27 years old. Completely blowing up your team is not the only way to rebuild a franchise. If anything your post is short sighted.

We traded two depth prospects for a legitimate top four defender who will be here for the foreseeable future. He could very well be apart of the solution in turning things around, and if not can be traded for assets down the road.

We took advantage of a team looking to free up cap space. Not many teams are positioned to do so. Great job here by Flames management.
