While there is something to say about Canadian markets encouraging mediocrity, this isn't specific to the Flames and I don't see how comparisons to Edmonton have influenced Calgary.
The Flames have built two contenders in the last 20 years. The Sutter team traded too many picks and made increasingly desperate win now moves. The Treliving team traded too many draft picks and failed to hit on a big move to take the next step.
I just want a team that practices good asset management including trading expiring assets and collecting draft picks. Just be patient with a few tough years to develop long term sustainable success.
