Anyone who though this would be a 4-5 year rebuild were kidding themselves. The roster and group of prospects handed to Feaster had virtually no young talent. His hands and feet were tied first by King/ownership, who intitially wouldn't let him do a proper rebuild, and then by Iginla, who effectively would only go to two teams.
At that point, the Flames were faced with essentially building a team from scratch. That takes more than 4 years. If you want to blame anyone, blame Sutter and the Flames ownership for doing exactly what the Canucks are doing now, and persisting in their delusion about being able to avoid a full rebuid.
