Unfortunately the clubs highest ever draft pick which was supposed to be the guy to take this club places was a complete bust in that role.
So here we are.

The rebuild was 2-3 years late and lasted about three years. I’d argue the Flames have never really carried out a rebuild. They’ve never moved out veterans for picks and prospects when their value was still high, and stockpiled multiple firsts and second round picks for multiple years to patiently build a new core through the draft. They’ve always waited too late to sell and started spending picks and going after UFAs to fill holes too soon.
