Yup, absolutely. If the best Flames team in decades does not win at least two 7-game crapshoots, the only rational thing to do is to make the team as bad as you possibly can. Blow everything up! Burn down the Saddledome! Sow the earth with salt!
Just ask Lightning fans. They unanimously support the owners' decision to fire everyone, trade off all the good players, and tank for a decade after losing the first round in 2019. It's what all good teams do.
