we should really be taking the "living in glass houses" approach here.

What are you talking about? Post-lockout Leafs? Glass houses? Weird input for a thread about the Oilers. And the Flames have too many small guys? Look at the players we have brought up lately, most of the rookie guys are over 6 feet. The only comparison between the teams would be they are both re-building, only the Oilers have been doing it for seven years. Almost time to re-up another season of Oil Change.
Now back on topic, I believe the Oilers will be this bad until they clean house in their front office. So probably a very, very long time.
