4 straight years out of the playoffs with the team trying for quick fixes. 3-5 seasons of bottom of the barrel hockey are the reality no matter what as there is not quick fix when you have a roster that lacks talent like the Flames do. If you can't stomach bad hockey you aren't going to like the immediate future regardless of what the Flames do this weekend. At least the rebuild through the draft route has been proven by franchises like the Penguins, Hawks, Capitals, Senators, St. Louis, Anaheim, etc that have used the draft to build competitive teams. When has quick fix building ever worked out for a team?
