This is, in fact, something we all should be desiring for Calgary. We were failing, made a series of moves, and logically should be wanting the team to enjoy a similarly quick turn around on its own journey forward.

No, we want to build a contender. Not be a middle of the pack team hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again. Why is just good enough good enough for many fans? If you want to win a Stanley Cup you have to build into a contender, for small market Canadian teams that fundamentally means building through the draft.
