Don't despair you'll remain good enough to finish just out of the playoffs which means you still won't get a top draft pick. They shoulda blew things up 3 or 4 years ago while your players still had trade value, instead they will languish in mediocrity until they hit rock bottom and finally start a rebuild...a rebuild will take 4 to 5 years as us Oiler fan know (we are still likely 2 years away)...That sir is why! You asked...

Wow!! How come your not a GM somewhere? jk lol
Actually they have as good a shot at the playoffs as anyone, I really like the team they have right now, this years version is younger than last by a couple of years.
Once Hudler and Cervenka get used to there new surroundings there second line will be really good.
Flames have as many good prospects as any team right now, with D. Sutter gone they have been making some awesome drafts *****s
-Johhny Gaudreau is the #1 offensive player in the NCAA
-Sven Baertschi is here to stay
-Patrick Sieloff
-Markus Granlund
-Michael Ferland
-Ryan Howse
-Joni Ortio Goalie
-Laurent Brossoit Goalie
Etc.
