The Hawks sucked, they didn't want to suck, they tried not to.

So they didn't plan it, right?
They sucked, then sold it off. No team is on top then plans this master rebuild. If the Flames (finally) decide to sell of their players, it won't be a genius move, it will be because they are (finally) pushed into that move. Like the Hawks, like the Oilers and like the Capitals before them.
No team plans to suck. They then suck, accept it and move on.
The Flames suck, they just haven't accepted it yet. Hopefully between now and the deadline (Early April?) they accept that and sell off assets.
Like both of you I have doubts Feaster will do that but if he does it wasn't a plan to rebuild, it was forced upon him by sucking like the Hawks and Capitals.
