Retool, try to stay competive for the fans and hope for a good run. (examples... LA from last year, Boston, Detroit, Anahelm and Carolina since the cap system)

We know how well that approach has worked for the Leafs.
And we must have different notions of 'competitive'. To me, competitive is competing for the top of the conference, and for the Stanley Cup. It's not competing for a playoff spot. Hoping to squeek into the playoffs and go on a cinderella run is a sad, sad way to run a pro sports franchise.
And if you won't pay a cent for a crappy team, I assume you haven't spent any money on the Flames for the last couple seasons. Because they've been a crappy team. Personally, I see no difference, as a fan, between a team that finishes 10th in the conference and a team that finishes 14th. It's three or four wins in an 82 game season. Both are the same distance from a cup.
