The Oilers haven't finished higher than 8th in the conference since 2001. They haven't finished higher than 6th in the conference since 1991. They were 5th in the conference in 1991, but that was a 10 team conference. Since then the only year they have been above the median team in the conference is in 2001, when they were 6th place out of 15 teams.
They got hot for a month and a half in 2006, but really, they have been rebuilding for more than 20 years.
