Until the remaining good vets go, it's a very Flames rebuild, one that is likely to keep the team out of top drafting positions and continue to have zero success minus the 1 good year we get every 5-10 seasons (a good year means some regular season success and maybe a single playoff series win).
Conroy is doing all he can and he's doing a pretty good job of it but, if ownership was fully committed, they certainly wouldn't still have all of Andersson, Coleman and Kadri on the roster by now - Craig isn't obtuse to the fact that these guys are making a rebuild harder, if not impossible. Like it or not it is a one toe in the water attempt at a rebuild when the entire foot needs to be in for what should be the second season of a tear down.
I don't blame anyone for 'whining' it's shameful the team is obviously still toiling with ownership not allowing a full on attempt at this for a couple of years when the alternative is results among the worst of the worst in the league. Nobody can say with any certainty that Conroy will be allowed to move these vets out this year, and keeping them rostered only continues to take the team out of true lottery contention the longer they stay and eventually just keep the elite draft talent out of the teams hands.
