Not far off of something similar....
"No organization has better positioned itself for future success than the Oilers. Ownership has deep pockets, the front office has done a tremendous job stockpiling prospects at all levels, Dallas Eakins is an up and coming head coach and team president Kevin Lowe's vision is coming into focus.
Smart hiring, shrewd trading and skilled drafting have transformed what was once a moribund franchise into one that now commands league-wide respect. They're building from the ground up and showing a level of patience that's unprecedented in their market.
It's been a long, painful road, but the Oilers finally appear primed to become a competitive club, and management deserves to be lauded for sticking to the plan"
