The Flames struggled to sell tickets this season doing exactly that. The Flames sold out from 2013-2016.
I'll gladly look at season tickets for a long-term plan.

Agreed. You can’t tell me watching this season’s team, competing for a playoff spot and all, is an exciting on-ice product.
I never paid to go to one game this year, and if the team as currently constructed stays the same, that won’t change for me anytime soon. I would enthusiastically put money towards going to games when there’s a vision and plan to bring this team back to contender status, inclusive of a rebuild and youth movement.
Watching young players emerge into the NHL spotlight is a lot of fun. Hell, it’d be a soul cleanse after watching Lewis and Lucic the last couple years.
