And for what looks like a few years of doom and gloom remember that this is a weird year where a lot of top teams need to get under the cap. to me this was the best year to sell off expensive vets and have tonnes of cap space. this team could turn it around quickly.

I agree. Not to be overly optimistic, or encourage the idea of "going for it", but this is a weird year, with weird circumstances and the best possible situation to have a bad season.
The draft is deep.
The flames have a pile of capspace and more than a few teams looking to unload assets.
The flames also have a couple of assets other teams may covet in the next calendar year.
What I would really hope is that the management has a clear focused plan, targets the right players, and a fair and accurate timeline. This means that regardless of position, not trading draft picks for players at the 2014 deadline.
I don't wish to pick on Feaster, but it's a fair question as to whether he is the right guy to do this based on the last couple years.
