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.

It could be said about a lot of Canadian teams, comes with the ability to sell out games regardless of the quality of the team. Less pressure on owners to do a rebuild.
