Every GM is building a team with the expectation of winning. It just may not be for this season. If you don't have the roster, spending futures to win now doesn't make sense. Giving up assets for futures does. It isn't about trying to lose.
That said, in the context of the Flames, I agree we are not in rebuild territory. Our top players are in their prime and we are a year removed from the playoffs (2 from a conference title). No ownership in any sport is going to support a rebuild with a team where the Flames are. Shaking up the core? Sure. Flushing and starting with a fresh bowl? No chance.
