It is a multitude of picks in a multitude of rounds over a multitude of years, each year selling pending free agents and acquiring other players with short term to fill out the roster and later be traded for picks as well.
It's a commitment to continue to turn roster players into picks for a 3-6 year period and to not care how good or bad the team finishes in regards to your approach at turning over the roster.

Flames drafted top 5 once.
Tkachuk and Monahan were 6th overall. Are you saying Monahan is not a player? Assuming Tkachuk is the player you are referring to as their 1?
Clearly not thinking at all about selling tickets during this phase. You want to buy my tickets for the years of tanking and hoping that these lotto tickets turn into something?
Last season you were all about selling the future for the now and now it is sell everything for a lo wander down the dessert that might turn this team into a contender in another half decade.
