Right now, stay the course and hopefully be 29th or 30th by the end of season and hope to get the #1 overall pick. No use in trying to improve when this team is on a rebuild. Definitely get as many decent draft picks from the vets that they can trade away before the trade deadline. I'm not too worried about this team tanking for the next couple of years as long as this rebuild gets at least one franchise player during the rebuild. That franchise player hopefully comes with McDavid in 2015 draft.
People are starting to see the true meaning of suck when two franchise players are no longer part of the team. People also forget how long it takes for a rebuild to take place. If Flames are lucky, maybe in 5 years. If they keep drafting like they did in the past, we won't even see this franchise in town in about 10 years.
