Tkachuk being the main guy now, with no long term security in place, as well as uncertainy he can match, or surpass last season's production without a strong playmaker around, puts me firmly in the rebuild position for this franchise.
I feel that to make work out of what's currently in place, and what's available in the market, isn't going to be enough for Flames to be legit contenders within the current window.
And if Flames do go down the rebuild route, Treliving should not be the one to run it. He has his opportunity. Time for someone new to take control.
