I think there will be more fans willing to go see exciting youth and top prospects that lose but hopefully show promise rather than the same substandard on-ice product year after year. Management has to realize at some point, you'd hope, that the glitter from the 2004 cup run is gone.
Selling us on kipper/iginla as the premiums players to take us back to the promised land is starting to feel a bit ridiculous considering its been almost a decade since the cup run.

Like most teams these days, the Flames financial support comes from the corporate sector. As long as the Calgary business class enjoy shmoozing at NHL games, the Flames revenue will be fine.
