The point - your point really - is that the winning culture isn't just a case of getting a couple good players. It also takes good management, good coaches, etc.
The Flames have better management in place now, IMO. I also like the coach.
IMO, it's a lot easier to maintain a good culture, than trying to flip a switch and find it at some designated point in the future.

I don't think anyone is suggesting we change the culture. Posters are simply stating that this idea that placing a few spots lower in the standings will somehow infect the team with a losing culture is false. Also realizing that the superior player drafted earlier will likely have a much greater positive impact for the clubs future than placing a few spots higher and counting on the "winning culture" to make some significant impact. Also before someone starts going off about tanking no one is suggesting we tank.
