I think it will play out as follows:
- They Flames will try to remain competitive for the next 3 years.
- After that they will be dragged into more of a re-build even if they don't call it that.
- They will have some expensive players still under contract but as the cap rises some of them may be moveable. If not, they will still not be a great team.
Basically I see it no too differently than what has played out with San Jose over the last 5-7 years.
