I do despise futility in “re” terminology. “Re-load”/“re-tool” mean nothing. In a league where teams usually shuffle 1/4(ish) of their roster annually, “re-load”/“re-tool” means absolutely nothing. The Flames should commit to building through the top of the draft. If the Flames in fact believe they can build a Stanley Cup winning team without drafting at the top/near the top of the draft, I pity the organization and all of us fans.
If that is what they believe, maybe we are actually looking at one of those situations where this team will never be a Stanley Cup contender under the current ownership. I imagine we’ll get a pretty clear, and final indication of this over the next two months.
