The most similar team to the Flames to me is the Jets. Except we don't have a Schiefele or an elite goalie if Markstrom is gone. And they have a lot more talent than us and depth.
That is another team where management refused to rebuild. And it will be many years of first round exits as a result. They are not bad enough to miss playoffs but not good enough to win anything.
I am hoping management will be patient, but I am sure the ownership wants playoffs ASAP, even if it means another decade of playoff 1st round losses and mediocrity.
