I really don't see outside of Buffalo PTSD, anyone could take their team and go "yea if we rebuild we'll be just like Buffalo so we cant do that".

Buffalo and really Arizona are terrible examples of failed rebuilds. Both teams have other circumstances that caused the rebuild to fail.
Maybe Utah can pull out of it, but Buffalo is Buffalo and the Flames shouldn't have the same issues if they draft the talent Buffalo has over the years.
