You can still entertain the fans with a crappy team.

They can completely succumb to Huberdeau and play all offence hockey with young talented kids. Scrap the defensive system and tying to win tight games.

Get a bunch of goons on the team and have them fight regularly.

Lower the price of beer at the games.

Fans will come watch the Flames lose 6-5 if it’s entertaining and there are lots of fights and physical play; this is what sells to Calgary hockey fans, even more so than offence.

Once you’ve accumulated a good young core, then you bring in a real coach and system to play winning hockey.
