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.

OTT launched a rebuild 15 months after going to the ECF, and there best players were like 28 and 25
