Net in is Farabee, Frost, Bahl, Sharangovich and I guess Miromanov. One of those lists is much more of a win now list than the other list. The players that got brought in more reflect the reality that teams often want to move a contract back than it reflects a Flamws desire to compete.
More than any team I can remember (or has ever been cited as an example on this forum) the Flames are in a scorched earth, sell the assets rebuild. Suppose it is possible to sell even more assets than the Flames have but no team has really ever done that.

That is not a scorched earth rebuild though. That's retooling to get younger. A burn it down team doesn't move out a 2nd rounder for frost and farabee.
Call it whatever you want I guess but what the flames are doing is not the same as the Hawks and Sharks.
