I don't think glad is the word.
Of course great players are an opportunity, but they also present challenges. Teams who have a lot of their cap space invested in one or two player rely heavily on prospect development and asset management.
Flames fans are seeing the silver lining that the Oilers have struggled with prospect development and asset management, and therefore have struggled as a team.
In essence this is a recognition that star player do not equal championships, and a reminder that Edmonton is No Good.
