Losing is contagious. The oilers have caught it from the bottom of the organization to the top. Once it seeps in and grabs a firm hold it can suck the very life out of you. This is what the Flames are battling against. I know wins "suck" for the rebuild but you have to do whatever you can to not let the losing creep in.
The oilers are to far gone, major changes are need to kill the virus of losing. I don't think another elite prospect will help at all, he will be powerless to stop the suckage.
Not intentional at all, Lowe and company really do believe it will magically turn itself around.
