It is much better to accept that this is the culture: this is how it goes in Canada precisely because of what Blaster86 has pointed out above. The truth of the matter is this: a Canadian team is not going to win a Stanley Cup in the near future, and this because team owners and their managers are far too frequently too impatient to see through a proper rebuild to its completion.
It won't happen in Vancouver; not in Calgary; not in Edmonton (hahahahaha!); not in that other terrible city—the name of which I cannot remember; not in Toronto; not in Ottawa; not in Montreal. This is our lot—so why not just enjoy what we have? Glorious, exciting, dramatic, fast and intense professional hockey.

That terrible city who’s name escapes you has probably done the best job of all the Canadian franchises, when it comes to patient, prudent roster building and team construction.
I’d hire Chevaldayoff to run the Flames in a heartbeat.
