Well we disagree then Flash. A sign of not rebuilding is going out and signing two big free agents, then finishing near last in the league. A rebuilding team isn't going to shot themselves in the foot that way. If the Flames went out and signed two big ticket players this off seasons people who be floored at why they are doing it when we are rebuilding.
I don't know why you just brush aside signing big money free agents. There are more then one sign of a rebuilding team, or a team spinning it's wheels. The Flames could have a fire sale in the next couple weeks, drafted in the top three, then go out and sign 2-3 free agents who are 30+ years old and you'd be one of the first to wonder what the heck was going on I'd imagine.
By your definition if that happened, they'd still be in rebuild mode. Even though it would be shooting themselves square in the foot.
It's interesting you brought up Cammaleri, a guy the Kings traded after they finished near the bottom of the league and when they were about to draft 2nd overall. Another example of a team trading off after they suck, not some master plan before.
