If your measure of "complete" is only when you win the big trophy, then you already limit the available paths you have to success.
These teams were competitive years before they won the Cup.
Truly, how long would it take for the Flames to go from a rebuild simply to where they are right now? I'd still rather be a bubble playoff team with 22 and 23 year old playing big roles than a bubble playoff team where your best player is 29.

Again, the Flames have had some playoff success too, without rebuilding.
Pick a goalpost and stick with it.
What would the purpose of sucking for 8-10 years be, if there weren't a grail at the end of the journey?
