Calgary isn’t exactly in a full-fledged rebuild yet, but at some point, they have to start tearing down the drywall.

Ex
squeeze me?!
Since opening night last season, the Flames have shipped out the following players:
Dillon Dube
Dennis Gilbert
A. J. Greer
Noah Hanifin
Oliver Kylington
Elias Lindholm
Andrew Mangiapane
Jacob Markstrom
Jordan Oesterle
Adam Ruzicka
Chris Tanev
Nikita Zadorov
The team had 22 active players on the opening-night roster last October, plus three on IR. Twelve of those 25 are now gone –
48%. That includes their starting goalie, 4 of the top 6 D, and a pair of top-6 forwards.
If a team that trades, waives, or releases half its players in twelve months isn't rebuilding, then who the hell is?
