In Burke's analogy I think this is the Flames year to walk, and hopefully jog a little to finish it off. Shedding all of the dead salary should allow the one more UFA needed to finish off the top 6 and hopefully one more defenseman and next year the Flames start to run.
I'd agree with you normally, but I'm thinking the expansion threw a bit of a wrench in the works, there might be one more year of rebuilding.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
