Probably because tear downs don't guarantee an elite team in 3-5 years. And there are more cases where it hasn't panned out that way than panned out that way.
You can be semi-competitive while restocking your talent pool and continually trade aged out players for younger ones or draft assets.
The Flames are operating in a much better and future-conscious way of late and I think they're moving in the right direction.
They'd have a first round pick every other year before, and now they're drafting multiple each year and 5-6 in the first three rounds.
IMO it's a recipe for success. And eventually it will bear fruit.
