Compare that to the typical attitude around here, which is to call for a total rebuild every off-season. If the Lightning ran their hockey ops the way some fans want the Flames to run theirs, they'd be in the bottom of a rebuild now, cursing their luck because they didn't draft Bedard.

Uh, no. When did the Flames have any deep playoff runs, I must have missed it. The lightning weren't bouncing between first round losses and missing the playoffs each year, if that was the case they very well might have questioned how their build was going. But they were clearly a contender and they had lengthy playoff success to prove it. Let's chat again when the Flames have any evidence of that sort.
Totally different situation.
