The Oilers will be likely rebuilding in the coming years once Draisaitl and McDavid leave but no matter how bad they get there's enough fan support to keep attendance respectable as their attendance was decent when they were picking top 10 for nearly a decade because they could sell hope with every 1st overall pick (Hall, RNH, Yakupov, McDavid) they accumulated. Since Edwards won't allow the Flames to properly rebuild, there are very low chances of getting the blue chip prospects that fans will pay to see even on a losing team (look at the Hawks with Bedard).
