As for hope, I think it depends on the fan.
* There's little to no hope to win the cup in the next 5 years.
* There's little to no hope to get a top 5 pick in the next couple of drafts.

For some that already means there's no hope.

* The league wide cap situation will likely result in the Flames getting little to no assets for their expiring UFA's.
* The only way to keep Lindholm seems to be over-paying him on an 8 year contract, and the Flames will likely be stuck in the murky middle without him.
I personally gave up on looking that far ahead. I just take it a season at a time, and try to leave the trades and cap gymnastics to the GM. However I can see why some posters are extremely frustrated. It's a Canadian market so this team is never as good or as bad as fans make it out to be.
