Let's not pretend this team is some embarrassment of riches and some super fast and unordinary successful rebuild. We hit on some picks and have some new talent. It's not better than anyone else really.
In the 3ish years since that signing I haven't seen an argument on CP that wasn't homerism defending that Stajan signing.

If you're keeping track then you should see that Calgary is a cap team. We've signed veterans to fill weak spots and have goaltending that is supposed to win us games.
We wouldn't be a cap team right now if we didn't hit home runs with late round picks. That isn't the norm for other teams in the league.
The Flames are a deep team and have a deep AHL team as well. Not sure what else you are expecting from a completed rebuild?
All this we did having a season where we made the 2nd round of the playoffs and ended up with no high draft picks.
If you think 4 years is an average to long rebuild, maybe you should read this article:
