The real damage here is fans will continue to cling on to this false hope and will just lose interest in the Flames. It won't get better, just more of the same.
You realize the opinions expressed on this forum have no bearing on team strategy, right?

Like a lot of fans, I wish the Flames would rebuild. But I know the only person who can make that happen is Murray Edwards, and he doesn’t seem to want a rebuild. So the decision becomes:

A) Accept that the strategic direction of the team is completely out of our hands, and instead judge the team by how well it carries out the strategy it has chosen.

B) Rage against the decision not to rebuild.

Which is a fair choice - we all get to choose how to be a fan. But raging against fans who choose A as though they’re somehow to blame for the direction of the team is taking it a bit far.
