If you have two immovable contracts you likely call anything you do a retool.

It isn't an easy definition that means they are shortcutting anything, only acquiring veterans or avoiding draft picks.
I find it quite funny. Retool and rebuild are merely subjective words; it's not like they are some objective thing you'll find in nature. Guaranteed, going forward, that there will be a heated debate over every single move (or non-move) that the Flames make over the next few years about whether it is a retool or rebuild move.

IMO, call it a "not trying to make the playoffs as anything can happen" plan. I know, it's catchy as all hell.
