You need supreme talents to win in this league. Even if you screw up the management of your team (like the Oilers), having supreme talent will still get you to a certain level of "success".
If you have supreme talents AND you're a well run organization? Well, that's how you really win. You can't have one without the other and expect anything of note though (ask the Oilers)...so, this team needs to sell it off, burn it down, revel in the agony of a few years at the bottom, and then build it new.
This team has had one good playoff run in 30+ years...it's time to change how they do things.

Do you think this franchise has the luck to land an elite franchise generational player in the draft? Honestly? We are all life long fans and know that luck and the Flames are not something that goes together. I'm all for a rebuild but I'm not expecting us to land a Bedard. We will end up with good players who demand trades or are made of glass.
