This.
With the cap going down, multi-year contracts are not being taken, except on significant discount. The Flames will have another round of sell offs if they equally suck next deadlline.
A rebuild takes patience. You can't just sell off every asset at the first opportunity. There are only so many buyers looking for so many pieces.
