We can debate a rebuild all we want, but the point of a rebuild is to establish your core. The Flames have lost most of its core (Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan, Giordano, Bennett) and may lose most of the rest (Lindholm, Hanafin, Backlund). Therefore we have to rebuild. The only question is whether it's via high draft picks or "on the fly".

I agree that they should rebuild but i disagree with the premise that they don't have a core.
When they lost the old core they should of rebuilt. Instead they knee jerk reacted and re-created a new core on the fly.
That current core is huberdeau, Kadri, weegar, rasmus and markstrom.
Lindholm if he re-signs is part of that core.
Hopefully aleast one young guy pops off and joins that core.
Personally I think this core doesn't have what it takes to be a consistent top contender and is probably on the downswing, so I think they should rebuild.
But it is a core.
