I grew up with Sharks fans and still know plenty, and the sentiment down there isn’t overly positive, and fans aren’t having much fun.

I don’t mind people advocating for a decade of misery on the hope it turns into 3-5 years of joy. But let’s not sugar coat it and pretend it’s anything but misery and that the people who are miserable now would be just as or even more miserable then. It sucks. Is it worth it? It can be. But it sucks. Even with a 1st overall pick.
The Sharks who were a perennial playoff contender that should have won at least 1 cup and who are now 5 years into a rebuild where they are brimming with talent are complaining ? Wow. Spoiled. Id be happy to have that on the Flames resume.
