At this point, it's pretty clear that some fans just want a scorched-earth rebuild no matter what, and will cherry-pick any evidence that seems at first sight to support it – whether the numbers actually check out or not.

It seems like it's your biases are bleeding through.
I'm actually not wanting scorched earth.
I'm not convinced that the Flames could get through it. I think we'd end up like Buffalo unless we hit a truly generational player.
We don't have certain market advantages that places like Chicago have.
I'm fine if they decide to re-sign Rasmus or trade for a young center.
But they need some star power.
It can come from anywhere but o know where it's most likely.
