Yes the writing has been on the wall for most rationale folks watching the team for years now, even here where I think a lot of the most hardcore supporters gather there have been rebuild calls for probably 3 years at least.
I am continually blown away by the Flames fans who criticize anyone saying the team is bad on here. Thought I was a homer but that is taking it to new levels. Worst part, Feaster is right there with them among the 1% of the hockey world who can't see how poor the current team is and worse, how dark the future looks.
Hopefully behind closed doors he is smarter than that. Also don't agree that playing down rebuilding is to preserve value or something. The trade deadline is all about bidding frenzies and talking players up, the tradecentre media does half the GMs job hyping up trade bait if you let them have a few crumbs.
