Cute, but the mistakes of 10 or 20 years ago shouldn't dictate current current actions.
I know people are frustrated, and it is human nature to try and pile up the problems and perceived issues, in order to justify the frustration, but making management decisions based on the past, is just foolish and reactionary.
The relevant issue is where the team is now (not where it was 10 years ago). And the fact of the matter is that the team has lots of young assets. This is a team that should be built upon, not torn down.
Does that mean don't trade anyone? No it doesn't. If you determine that one, or a few, of the pieces are not part of the solution, then you move them for other pieces.
But rebuilds are for when your players are aging and you're out of assets. The Flames are largely constructed of players 26 and younger. Lots and lots to work with and build around.
