That's not a fact. That's your opinion. And although I hope youre right, I dont think its the most realistic outlook. Also this management is going to want to start adding eventually via UFA and trades, especially with the arena on the horizon. I doubt their looking to bottom out in the first year of the new arena. That leaves this year and maybe next.
I generally agree, we shouldn't be over paying for aassets. I might make an exception for a bonafide blue chip young 1c (which almost certainly won't be available anyways).

I think you’re right.
The window to bottom out is this year and maybe next. After that I suspect we will see exactly, or pretty close to it, the same sort of management we’ve seen for the previous two decades. Chasing UFA’s, trading pics for ‘win now’ pieces. The Flames are in a unique position right now because of the arena. Once they are there I think there will be considerable pressure from up top to make the playoffs. If there is any grace from ownership for them to finish low, it’s now.
