The point is, Calgary is about the same as a 3-time cup winning team that is apparently just starting their rebuild.

That 3-time cup-winning team started their rebuild several years ago. The Flames haven't started a rebuild yet, and you are including draft picks from their last rebuild, which ended several years ago.
Yes, they ended the rebuild much too soon. But it's still not a sound comparison.
