A stripped down to the core rebuild doesn't happen overnight and some teams like the Panther, Oilers, Jackets, Islanders never turn the corner into real contenders. We should be looking at a real (not a one and done like the Jackets or Islanders last year) playoff contending team in about three more years if everything goes well.

And that's the thing. Even if he gets Crosby and we draft the best goalie since Roy we aren't making the playoffs. The Flames are about 5-10 pieces away. You cannot fix that in a season
