i know this is an unpopular opinion because sports is an emotional subject, but it takes time to have plans come to fruition, especially when you're talking about developing human individuals in an industry like pro sports. Look at how long it took Tallon/Bowman to build the blackhawks into a perennial contender - and that's with teows and kane. Or the predators. This sentiment that you need to go from zero to hero in the span of a few seasons or you need to be replaced is probably why the flames have been extremely mediocre since the early 90s. I've said it on this board and I'll continue to say it - unless you totally luck out with a franchise changing player ala pittsburg, you are not going to turn over a bottom feeder franchise into a cup winner without lots of patience
