The flames may not want to full tear down rebuild but they may just suck for a few years until young elite talent emerges.
If lindy, hanifin and backlund are out this team will obviously be way worse. Even if you make hockey trades similar to the toffoli deal, we're most likely not getting equal caliber back.
It's not crazy to think the flames will bottom out.
Is this roster without lindy, hanifin, tanev and backlund really any better then the ducks, coyotes and blackhawks? Especially as they're young elite talent walks into their prime.
