But let's stick with it as we are smarter than all these other teams who build by drafting high and winning cups.

Totally on board with what you’re saying, in the boat with you, but the one thing the Flames have is a culture of commitment, and if they lose that, well things could get far worse. Management is in a tough spot, but I think the current players have earned the right to be allowed to compete intact for the rest of the season. Does that mean they likely miss out on a shot at a high end pick? Likely, but if they send a message that the current players that that efforts aren’t important that could do damage that can’t be replaced with a few bodies (see Edmonton).
As a fan i appreciate the change in philosophy to one that acquires future assets instead of spending them. It’s a start and that is something.
