The Flames were swept in the first round in 1996, and the ‘Young Guns’ slogan was adopted well after that. The team missed the playoffs every year from '96-97 to '02-03, and had no hope of being competitive against any of the seven or eight teams with effectively unlimited budgets. That is the era we're talking about. There's no ‘officially’ about it.

By the numbers the young guns era is better than the Last 14 years. I was around for the young guns .

By the numbers, missing the playoffs every year is distinctly worse than making the playoffs about half the time and occasionally winning a round.
