There are more examples of concerted rebuilds failing than succeeding. Retools have been just as successful. The Flames have some really good assets for a retool, they just need to make the right moves.

Retool into what exactly? The Minnesota Wild? The Nashville Predators? The Dallas Stars (they fluked last season). The Sharks? This roster wasn't a legit cup contender in their peak and I don't see any assets on this roster good enough to bring in elite talent. This team lacks elite talent and you don't retool into that. If you can list an example of failed rosters that retooled themselves into a cup team by all means go ahead and list them but retooling to me is akin to spinning the wheels of mediocrity.
