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.

What is a proper rebuild though? Acquiring prospects is another method and some might say better as you typically get a better read on players after 1-2 years of development instead of picking a guy right out of a development league.
