I know someone had to take the fall for the Sabres decline, but Regier laid the foundations for a proper rebuild. And no, rebuilding doesn't mean tanking. It means stockpiling picks and drafting well.
That's where I think the Flames are still only dipping one toe in the rebuild water. You really gotta load up on 1sts and 2nd round picks for a few drafts in a row to do it properly.
