Not sure I'd sign up for 5 years of purposely sucking for that flow diagram.
Do your best at every part of the organization and let the chips fall where they may.
The Flames have 17M in cap space, and moved on from their starting goaltender. They're not fooling anyone with the "remain competitive" narrative.
But if young players progress faster than you think, and with that you do better than you thought ... just enjoy the damn ride and stop whining about wins!

"enjoy the ride"
The same ride we've been on for 30+ years, finishing between 13th-18th league wide?
What the hell would be enjoyable about that, please. This type of talk gets us another 5 years of middling finishes while we bleet about some culture or something. WHAT CULTURE! WE HAVENT WON ANYTHING OF NOTE IN DECADES!
