However, with nothing on the farm, might as well ride the vets for all they've got and see if you can find magic. Because once you turn the page, it's going to be full rebuild, regardless.

It's going to be the full rebuild - except 2 years later. That is a major waste of time and assets for the ridiculously slim chance that the Flames group of veterans somehow go on a playoff run. And your veterans are 2 years older too, reducing their potential return.
The idea that the farm system isn't good enough to rebuild around is exactly why Feaster & King aren't involved in NHL hockey ops anymore - it simply makes no sense and relies more on miracles than hard facts. Rebuilding by nature will improve your farm system.
