Everyone clamoring for a rebuild (which the Flames are clearly doing), just remember it can go badly. Never mind Buffalo, but the retirement of Cogliano reminded me of when he and Gagner were the next Oiler stars. 17 years later, the Oilers are tied 3-3 in the Finals.
Now it's hard to screw things up as badly as the Oilers did over the years, but maybe not as hard as we think it is.
