Awesome argument. "Blowing it up doesn't work, look at Edmonton". They're terribly managed. That is their problem. Also, they didn't say "blow it up" one day. They were forced to trade Pronger, and the sad sack team had to trade Smyth at the deadline. If they were truly rebuilding, Hemsky would have been traded a long time ago. Like the Flames, the management is reacting, rather than properly planning ahead. Imagine if the Flames felt Phaneuf had to go, and Darryl went after some youngish prospects (21-22 years old) instead. These players could be contributing now, and would almost definitely be better than what we have now. The seasons would hardly have been much leaner than they were, due to the fact that every player that came back in that trade was crap.
Letting Iginla and Kiprusoff simply expire here in hopes for another round of playoss (if we're lucky) is a dumb decision. Now is their time to go.

Feaster gets paid 900k to get those pieces.. if he can't then he should retire.

How solid? Contending for a cup? That is where a team should strive to be. 2-3 pieces (save 2-3 really GOOD pieces...which aren't ever free) would have to be all game changers, top players, to get this team near that spot. Feaster gets paid to ice a team year in, year out. If his idea of planning ahead ends at "what do we need in the next two weeks" he is not doing a good job.
