If the Flames did a TRUE rebuild they would/should have dealt Wideman, Gio, Hudler and more 2 years ago.
That would have been a proper teardown. Look at Toronto's roster.
I am not saying it is the correct method. However, really the Flames aren't 'rebuilding' anymore. They are trying to improve, but so is every other team.
They did what every out of the playoffs team would do/should do, trade their two UFA's.
They are spending to the cap, and trying to make the playoffs. That is not a rebuilding team anymore.
