I think building a winner would be a more attractive to players like Tkachuk longterm.
Flames have the 9th best winning percentage in the western conference. The Wild are knocking on the door to pass them for 9th. They are part of a 5 or 6 team battle for 3 playoff spots and they are probably going to take a pass on adding some significant assets to the organization at the deadline. All so we can squeak in and maybe lay a beating on the St. Louis Blues in the first round.

But this isn't an almost winning season. This is an almost, almost, almost winning season and those fans want to make the future even more bleak by trading away futures in the hopes of it maybe becoming an almost, almost winning season. That way we definitely won't be able to build a winning team because they'll be stuck with an older team that can't get it done and have no prospects to help!
