Dome is full, and as you say, there is a waiting list for season tickets...
I don't see any changes on the horizon.

This city has more money than brains. When you got 80% of the idiots (sorry if you're one of them) wanting Iggy out and start a team rebuild without thinking what the rebuild should look like and that all these ppl want is just to rebuild because the young and the restless is more exciting than watching a bunch of 30+ year-olds play, well, this is what it looks like. You don't trade a franchise player to start a rebuild when you're not gonna get back an equal or greater value than what he was when he was in his prime. If you know the value is gonna be crappy or unknown, why even bother making a trade and just let the guy retire with honour? There are other players that could and can fetch way more, but the Flames consistently get fleeced due to poor management.
If money keeps flowing out of fat cows like the Bow River, frick, management will try to milk the cows until they're run out of town. Why fix anything when there's endless money coming in? This is gonna be one long painful rebuilding process, probably longer that the one caused by Doug Riseborough.
