Realistically because nothing would be standing in the way of the young guys, the Flames could have their rebuild done in literally two seasons.

REal question is:
1. Does Conroy have the balls to go full Tampa Rays mode?
2. Does any first time GM have the latitude to do this in the first place?
Time will tell. But Conroy needs a vision. Trying to cobble together a contender this year should be off the table and will likely be disastrous long term. But a first time GM might fall into this trap.
Hopefully he learned what not to do from his predecessor.
