It all depends on the direction Conroy chooses to take.
If the Flames really do rebuild it should be pretty exciting whereas if they try and continue to re-sign the players they already have it may be extremely boring/disappointing.
There is a ton of available young talent to be had if ever we trade Lindholm, Toffoli, Hanifin, etc. But at the same time is the casual Flames fan ready for a rough 3-5 years.

Some fans act like this decision is between the Flames being top 5 in the league or bottom 5. Realistically it's probably between being in the 15 to 20 range and the 20 to 25 range. The Flames with all these guys didn't make the playoffs and they probably won't even if they keep the entire team together. We're not missing anything trying to "win." And if the team ends up really bad I'm pretty sure a top 5 pick will be more exciting than whatever we watched all last year.
