If the Flames tanked for the next 2 years, you're looking at a minimum of 6 years from today to even get into the playoffs. Wolf is then 30, soon due for another contract, and seriously thinking if he can win anything here.

I think that if the Flames don't tank now, there road to being a contender actually increases, as they'll lose their veterans in the coming years and get nothing for them, plus they'll decrease the odds of getting getter draft picks.
The Flames plan is likely to result in a much longer road to contention.
SJ and Chiago have two of the best prospect pools in the NHL. As bad as they are, and they are still bad, but there is some light for both teams coming out of the rebuild tunnel. They are closer to contending than the Flames IMO.
