What this does it make this team mediocre for the next 3-4 year. Might make the playoffs a couple times, might miss, but never good enough to be a consistent Cup threat.
I'm trying not to be a Debbie Downer but this is the exact opposite of what I wanted to happen. I will say though, I expected worse if the Flames were going to go in this direction.

It’s not a rebuild but that was never going to be their direction with this owner.
If the goal was to try to win this is huge. People are really underrating Weegar here, he’s a top 20 dman and dmen age well generally.
We also had no concerns with signing Gaudreau for the same years.
I’m not certain we are worse next year, especially if they go get Kadri and move Lucic now. Promote Pelletier.
