I forgot to add:
The one thing that does make me a little nervous is the whole: "We have to be patient. We would like to be further along now, and where we are is a unexpected" thing - implying to me that they are somehow apologizing for being lower than expected - somehow responding to some backlash of "why aren't we better already?". I think the fan base is on the other side, no? Preferring to do a proper rebuild, vs 'get better right away'.
That's the only worry I have right now, but unless the Flames pivot, I believe they are going to rebuild properly and not try to fast-track this.
