What does that mean? What is stripping it down? Trade everyone for the best picks and prospects you can get and hope they come together? Because a three year rebuild doesn't sound remotely feasible. The Flames system is pretty thin and a lot of depth needs to be built up. Unless you are getting 3-4 picks in the first round in each of the next three drafts, you're not going to have many players ready to step in when that building opens. Development is a three to five year game, especially as you get outside the first round. You may get a player to step in after two years, but when will they be producing and contributing? A rebuild is a much longer process and requires a lot to go right, so I'm wondering what stripping it down looks like? As it is, the Flames depth in prospects is already pretty stripped down.
