Yea, but after hitting rock bottom, the Oilers basically made zero efforts to improve for two seasons.
If the Flames are serious about trying to compete and chase free agents they should be able to finish 20-27th 2-3 times on their way back up. Not sure what the best way to go is, but its nice having an elite talent on the squad.
