I think a 2-3 yeat turn around is do-able but it takes alot of luck.
The key is that if you're going to miss, you miss HARD and get top picks for 2 or 3 years.. The flames are incapable of doing this. Theyre deadset on winning meaningless games and ruining their draft spot, then patting themselves on the back for their great attitude.
They're back to back playoff misses and they'll have a 13th oa and a 9th oa to show for it. Huge waste of the last two years imo.
Teams like Dallas and LA have done it where they missed for 2-3 years and we're back in it but they got heiskenans, byfields and Clarke out of it. Albeit Dallas got lucky with the lottery win.
