It's not hindsight though. It was said in 2011, 2012, 2013 while Iginla had value but the Flames didn't have a good enough team to support him. Instead they got nothing. It was said in 2015, it's being said in 2022 (though Gaudreau signing or not is obviously a huge difference).

As long as the Flames ownership is willing to spend, they will not bottom out, they'll continue to fight for a spot in playoffs, making it some years, not others, but never being a favourite.

This couldn't be more correct. I just fear it could be said from 2009-2050.
