Yeah, it’s likely a very long rebuild.
They have no players today you can safely identify as core players of a playoff team in 5 years.
Zary is likely the closest.
And with high draft picks sprinkled out over the next 3 years, those picks in 2026 will take some years to develop.
Now, the good news is Calgary will be so bad that we should get some really high picks. Turning those picks into elite players is crucial to the 5 year plan, or it just keeps getting extended.
