Well, it looks like the Flames could get dragged kicking and screaming into a rebuild, the best option for possible future contention.
Whether they lean into the circumstances and accumulate as many futures as possible to set themselves up for future contention or whether they try to get "win now" pieces back for Tkachuk, blow large contracts for Kadri and Klingberg, and continue to spin tires in the mud remains to be seen.
