If they do it, it's just more typical Flames behaviour. They may cycle the GMs through the city, but the gameplan never changes. Zero patience.
The Flames time to rebuild was when Johnny and Matthew left, they didn't. The next best time was last season, and they started it. To cycle right back into grabbing whatever parts are available (at great asset cost, presumably)...just no, it's not a good plan. It doesn't work.
This team, have fun with it now. Let it build organically. If they miss, they miss - if they make the playoffs, then they did it on the backs of the players already here and then have two 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks in the Summer. Acquiring a Pinto, it's just pure impatience.
For once, just show some damn patience, Flames.

Depends...I wouldn't pull the trigger out of desperation or something but the Flames have to keep an eye on it because they need centers and aren't going to be able to draft all of them.
Flames potentially have already drafted well enough and have enough pieces to make it hard for them to pick top 3-5. Wolf alone might actually prevent against that if he keeps this up.
A true bottom out and pick top 3 might not be on the cards so they have to keep all avenues open (just don't move any of your own picks). Keep selling the aging assets, and keep accumulating the U-25 assets, as long as they stick to that strategy it will be fine.
