Because it's Calgary flames it's difficult to sign good FA, or even to trade for top players as they usually block the trade to us. Didn't our GM tried to make a trade last offseason and get rejected by the player? Even Toronto couldn't win when they tried to retool many years.
If we trade for Eichel, but loose Tkachuk, Gaudreau or high draft pick we will be still an average team.
So in my opinion rebuild has more chance to become the contender if we can draft top 3 next 2-3 years. Trade all the players for the maximum return this offseason and next season and collect draft picks and prospects.

It simply won’t happen unless they completely clear house starting with Sutter which we know is not going to happen. There is no tear down rebuild on the horizon for the next season and maybe if next year goes off the rails like this year they will go that route but it won’t happen this summer.
