My hope for Flames fan is that Calgary management doesn't try to push out of the rebuild too early. It really sucks to watch a team be in the basement for five years, but it is worse to watch a team be in the basement for 2-3 years to come out of it as a mediocore team.
Yzerman received a lot of praise for all the vets he added in Detroit, but looking at how the team stands today, they don't look like more than a playoff bubble team.
I think the best move for a rebuilding team is to be bad until you are sure you have acquired 2-3 game breakers.
