You're correct in terms of wins, but the big change in culture throughout the Flames organization is the true success here and the reason our rebuild is already so successful. The team will have ups and downs, but because we have management in place that knows how to draft players, how to develop them properly, how to transition them to an NHL game, and then hold them accountable once they're here shows that this franchise has a real direction and purpose
Despite all the complaints from fans about the "treatment" of Sven Baertschi, he's the perfect example of why the Flames are having so much success right now. You don't get a spot in the lineup gifted to you just because you're a talented prospect, if that's all a player wants they just have to take a 3 hour drive north
