I really appreciated dobbles perspective and thoughts even it goes against what I believe it takes to build a contender, I take it as new info based on his detailed thoughts. I will point out one thing though - When explaining that 10 years of no playoffs for a lot those teams is a negative about them not competing like it would be a negative for the Flames to follow suit, it is impotent to note that we have, I believe 6 playoffs wins since 1990?
I agree with the one poster that the team and management hasn't been the same for that whole time, but I also ain't against sucking for a prolonged period and aquiring picks and better chances at top end draft talent. Just sayin'.
It isn't a gaurantee, but maybe it's no worse than what we've been through as a middling organization that clearly puts an emphasis on making the playoffs and spending pics for depth to do so, almost every.....friggen......year of our existence?
