The standard for this management group is to produce improvement in the medium-to-long term. I imagine that the expectation is to be challenging for division and conference titles in five seasons, with an outside shot at a playoff berth in three years.
Expecting incremental improvements from season to season, at this point, is a recipe for long-term mediocrity.
I'm sick of mediocrity.
I want two more years of being hot garbage, adding a player or two who will be in the hunt for serious individual hardware during their peak years, and then a five to seven year championship window.
I want the Flames to be the next Hawks or Kings. I do not want to be the next Capitals, or worse, Coyotes.
Flames: 14th in West, 29th in the NHL.
Oilers 11th in West.
Canucks 8th.
