To say the team doesn't rebuild is wild given that three of these guys were drafted in the top 5 by the flames themselves
Even going into this season, the team was built properly and was ranked among a top 4 team to win a cup. So to suggest it 100% made sense to rebuild when you had a consensus top-5 team is insane to me. This isn't ownership with its head in the cloud. This is gambling odds makers, expert pundits, analytics sites, etc...all saying the flames were a really good team.

Yeah, on paper I totally believed the Flames could go deep like St Louis once they added Huberdeau, Weegar, and Kadri. If Florida doesn't put Huberdeau and Weegar on the table then maybe they go with the Necas and 1st offer from Carolina and rebuild.
