How Long Should This Rebuild Take?

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon tackle the million-dollar question: how long should a proper rebuild actually take? One week removed from locker clean-out day, the guys discuss Craig Conroy’s commitment to a new organizational philosophy and why the Flames might have a head start compared to other rebuilding franchises. They look at successful blueprints like Anaheim and Montreal—both of which turned things around in roughly four years—and contrast them with "cautionary tales" from Buffalo and Edmonton. The guys argue that as long as the front office resists the urge to fast-track the process, the pieces are already in place to build something sustainable. (25:28) On the Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, the crew sits down for the final Roundtable of the season. They identify the biggest storylines they’ll be tracking over the summer and share their personal feelings on covering a Flames team that is finally trying something different than at any point in the last two decades.
