*Shudder*
Those guys had less talent than any centre on the Flames right now.

I don't think anyone enjoys rebuilds. But its hard to improve the team overnight. In our case there's not going to be any gain without some pain. This is a tough phase that many have been calling for for years. We're only what, about 1 season in?

I don't think we'll go full Oiler. Burke knows too much more about building a winner from the GM seat than Tambellini, Lowe, MacTavish, etc. Why wouldn't we be happy about draft day? In fact I'm much more confident about the draft with Burke at the helm because he emphasizes some attributes that we completely lack (size and strength combined with skill/skating). Plus he has a good history of drafting high and making trades.
Rebuilds are to be endured, not enjoyed. I'm not sure what some of you were expecting...
