The rebuild you envy?

Three drafts in a row the Flames will have 2+ firsts

Not spending cap, not trading picks for older players, not signing UFAs are all rebuilding moves. Ras is being traded 100% it was already done but LA wanted an extension he wasn't willing to do. If anything the price has gone up recently.
I'm not using Vancouver as some model to follow. I liked their last trade, that is it.

I gave the same praise for the Flames with the Lindholm and Markstrom trades. But it has been 2 years and they have done nothing since when we could be capitalizing on trading vets while they still have value.

So my only point was, what exactly is the plan? Besides do nothing.
