It is weird. Canucks fans were insufferable from about 2008 to 2013. With Trevor & Benning on board, Kesler gone, Luongo gone, they are less insufferable I guess.
Oiler fans were insufferable during basically the same time period, as were the media. "They are building something special up there" rhetoric was a bit much. Now since the Oiler fans themselves admit they are horrid, it's not the same anymore.
I think what will really fire up the rivalries will be when all 3 are competitive at the same time. Historically Oilers have been the biggest rival, and I think they will always have that slight edge in who we as fans hate the most.
