He does in all fairness point out that they are moving that way under his criteria if they don't make the playoffs this year.
His key was 3 picks in the top 5 in 5 years to find teams that are rebuilding. From that point he averaged 4.25 years to make the playoffs.
Monahan wasn't a top 5 pick, so the Flames need two more top five picks in the next three years or they won't be considered a rebuild at all. Should they achieve that then this is the first of 4.25 years out of the playoffs.

Fat freaking chance!
Oilers will be lucky if they're out of the bottom 5, I dont see a slim hope in hell they even have a sniff of the playoffs this season.
