Cant we suck for 2-5 years and then go into win-now mode?
Very frustrating that they would make a short-sighted move to bandage the Giordano injury when we could have promoted from within.

Ladislav Smid isn't a 'win now' move; an opportunity presented itself to acquire a young, top-4 defender who's under contract at a good number for another three years for two long shot prospects; a goalie and the 7th rated center in the organization.
Rebuild doesn't mean 'be as crappy as possible'. The team should always be looking to improve. This trade makes them better. The best player is coming to Calgary. We win.
