The Flames are currently 3 years 3 months 21 days into their rebuild.

If this is a 5-year plan, which I see it as, then the Flames have 1 year 8 months 9 days remaining before the rebuild is complete.

This means the Flames are 66.15% of the way through the rebuild.

I think that number is an accurate reflection of the work done.

I see the end of this year (if all goes well) bringing the team to 80% and back into the playoffs.

The final pieces are added next summer (2017)

(Iginla returns? Tkachuk young-star rookie? Gillies as backup? Elite RW added?) as the final old pieces are removed (Wideman, Stajan, Bollig, Smid)

and by April 2018 you've got yourself a 4-5 year contender. Something like that.
