The organization has made this very clear and whether it is right or wrong to do so that is reality, no amount of wishing from the rebuild crowd is going to change it.

This is a rebuild. He can sub whatever he wants. His actions show this is a rebuild. We have made zero trades that make this a “retool”. We have zero players to retool around.
Of course they tell the public the playoffs are the goal. They still have to sell tickets and build a culture. It’s just not a scorched earth rebuild.
If Necas is a Flames it’s likely because Markstrom is a cane and not a bunch of picks being wasted on him.
