I don't know why people think a re-build will only take a few years.
Because the last one did. The Gaudreau/Monahan led Flames were in the playoffs and won a round not long after the official rebuild was declared.
It's a young mans league now. You get elite young talent and they can turn the ship quickly. I'm not saying the project is complete that quickly, but you start seeing signs of progress.

The doom and gloom about 10 years of being bad is just fear mongering.
Not every team is Edmonton.
