Whomever is irate that the Flames 'aren't rebuilding' just need to go back halfway through the season and listen to Conroy's media scrums. I think he has been clear. Specifically go back and listen carefully when he was asked about his definitions about what a rebuild is and what a retool is. His 'retool' is a rebuild. The 'rebuild' was scorched-earth. He has been pretty clear that picks will only be traded for 23 and under players. He has stated that 'this will take some time'.
I will believe the words that continually come out of the mouth of the guy in charge, as well as the actions that he has thus far made since becoming the GM, over what Friedman or anyone else says. There is a lot of posturing going on as you would expect. Let's just take a deep breath and see what happens this month.
