If the Flames year it down now they could be on the rise again in 3-4 years.

Even in the absence of the pandemic, I would think that management would want the city to be excited and on the flames bandwagon by the time the new building is up. I don't think it'll be a pretty picture if the team is forced to rebuild at the time the new building cones up (a la Detroit).
I am curious if the owners are willing to invest now, rebuild and use deep pockets to maximize asset returns by Taking on salary (Ie. Retaining salary, collecting picks as the byproduct of taking on a bad contract, etc).
Then I wake up. This management team doesn't cars to win the cup. They just need to make the playoffs. Being mediocre is sufficient given that half the teams make the post season.
