It's not lazy at all. The Flames were trying to win a cup and missed the playoffs. What's worse than a team thinking they had a cup contender on their hands and finishing with a record no better than a rebuilding Ottawa Senators? Rebuilding and missing the playoffs isn't worse as I guarantee Senators fans feel better about their season than Flames fans feel about this season. Being a tire fire is worse but that is how most elite teams today build their roster and probably what it will ultimately will take if the organization will ever win a Stanley Cup again. I just don't see the downside myself unless you are happy with the current trajectory of spinning wheels.
