I just want to point out, and not because I have an issue with you saying that, it makes sense to me. But, in the other thread, you just called out the GM for likely not doing a rebuild (which would make us very un competitive).
Then in this thread, you articulate that if we are un-competitive you'll likely have to find other things to do with your evenings (which as mentioned, I totally get and would also agree). This is why the Flames are likely hesitant to do a full rebuild. As much as we say we want it, the hit they will take to attendance and view ship over the years we are rebuilding and not competitive, even in a good hockey market is pretty hard to swallow.
Small market Canadian teams have great knowledgably core fan bases that likely can understand a rebuild, but they macro economics of a small Canadian market don't create the right environment for intentional sucking. They need to fill the building, which doesn't happen unless the team is competitive, and they really need that playoff revenue, even if it's just for one round.
