Because if you disagree with the entire strategy to compete now, you are going to likely hate everything they are currently doing.
For me I look at it as follows
1. Do I agree with their overall strategy. Yes/No. I don't really if I'm honest because I don't think it's a path to a championship.
But I accept that's what they are doing and then I move on to
2. Are they making sound and effective decisions to execute their chosen strategy?
In other words, it's a bit of a waste of time to evaluate every decision from the standpoint of "they should be re-building" because they aren't doing that.
I wish they would re-build.
They aren't.
So I've moved on from it.

I agree, but the lack of results to this point create an interesting question of how the Flames handle it.
Is this an organization that can afford to trade more futures to add another piece to a group that is more than one piece away from contending?
Do they do nothing and hope the ship rights itself?
Or if the ship doesn't write itself and they draft 14th overall again - do they really just do the same thing next year?
I have to think at some point, if things aren't going as they hoped, they throw in the towel.
I'm hoping whenever they do, they don't wait too long like they did with Iginla.
