I don't think the Flames are in rebuild mode for the next couple of years unless what they have now is as bad as it was 4-5 years ago. From recent acquisitions, I think Tre have built a team to compete with the top teams in the Western Conference. All he has to do is get a couple of natural big right wingers, especially for the first line and this team looks pretty. Still think the Flames forward lines look mediocre, except for the Backlund, Frolik, and Tkachuk line.
