Building through free agency is not an option for the Flames. The only way the Flames are going to be able to attract big name free agents is if they are an elite team. Even then it will likely be difficult. Otherwise, were the ones overpaying for guys like Brouwer and Neal.
And posters who try to push this narrative that the fans won't support a rebuild are way off base IMO. What is more exciting than quality young players coming up through the organization and watching their progression? How is what we witnessed last year or the year before better? You'd think were tearing down a top 10 team or something. This is a bottom 1/3 of the league team. We had 4 more points than the Senators. The contract situations are only going to make is increasingly difficult to try and win with this group.
