The anti-bottoming crowd rarely seems to pitch a path to success, but rather just poo poo the idea of bottoming out.

So, if the idea of bottoming out is a no-go, then what is the actual plan? How do the Flames gather enough assets to build themselves into a contending team?
Clearly fold the team and come back as an expansion team. Look at Vegas.

No mention of Seattle and how teams learned and didn't allow themselves to get swindled.
