A rebuild might take 3-5 years, we may not be a contender for at least 5. But we will have some fun players to watch much sooner than 5 years. People mention the Oilers or Buffalo or Ottawa. I personally would be ok to watch all three of those teams if the Flames had similar roster to what they have, and I would think most years going into the season you would be excited for the season even if the team ended up being disappointing.
Oilers are one of the top teams again this year and Buffalo and Ottawa are a good move or 2 away from being playoff teams. Flames aren't any better than that over the last decade.
