I'm not sure what people expect when they say they want the Flames to rebuild?
Were we not rebuilding when we traded Regehr? Or let guys like Boyd, Moss, Jokinen etc. go to sign somewhere else?
Are we not rebuilding by benching Sarich and having Brodie in the lineup to learn as he goes?
Why does a rebuild mean we have to trade Iggy and/or Kipper? It's probably because you think that those 2 guys will fetch the most value. I feel like we tend to overvalue our own players and the market value they have.
Remember when Jones & Karlsson & Irving went on waivers, and everyone on this site was saying they would all be claimed???
My point is that a full out rebuild rarely works, and just because we're impatient fans doesn't mean you have to blow it all up. And laughably, as the article reads, we CPers are not any smarter than an average fan and should not be trusted with the GM decisions you all claim to have the answers for. The members of this site make statements and opinions based on emotion, and emotion doesn't run successful hockey clubs (read: Phaneuf trade).
