It's not chess, it's hockey. The Flames are already sacrificing their attempts to "win now" in favor of a rebuild. So far though, the Flames drafting is already showing dividends.
Wouldn't you agree that the Flames already sacrificed their cash cow in Iginla and it was the correct strategy to trade him? The Flames need to get these young guys winning sooner than later IMO, that breeds success much more effectively than tanking does.
The Flames won't suck enough to draft Reinhart or Ekblad.
