The Flames weren't even last in their division in 1998. They weren't even second last.
This is also entirely missing my point. The argument that Flames fans won't support a rebuilding team is countered by the fact that they were rebuilding from 2013-2016 and fans supported them (which is more recent than the 90s, again in a completely different economic/NHL environment).
Which holds more weight? Fan support in the 1990s or the 2010s?
