I'm fully aware of the concepts of leadership and competitiveness, thank you.
You're mischaracterizing the rebuild crowd's urgency to rebuild (in an excellent draft year) with expediting some sort of cup window. Any realistic fan in favor of tearing this down even further recognizes this is going to be 3-5 years before any sniff of the playoffs again (which it may be anyway), and even further out from contending for a cup unless they get extremely lucky.

Isn’t the difference between “a direction” and “the very beginning of a direction” also semantics? I’m not sure trying to be a cup contender and rebuilding are examples of the fluidity of a direction, those are different directions my guy. The one they were facing three years ago, and the one they switched to two years ago. But if you meant the same thing I had already said, that’s cool. And to that point, I’m not mischaracterizing anything, I’m continuing the conversation from the post I originally responded to.
Someone said the Flames have been trying the same thing for a long time and should try a different direction. I said they changed direction two years ago and we should be patient and let it play out. You said we aren’t at the point where we should let it play out and the direction might become what the direction already is? lol, I don’t get it.
I don’t know how to break this to you but the team has been rebuilding for two years and is, actively, tearing it down further (Andersson, maybe Coleman and Backlund, maybe Kadri after next year). You want something you already have, you’re just complaining that it doesn’t look exactly like you thought it would.
