WTF is that even a thought in his pea brain? That after 4 years the Flames rebuild should be now top 10 in the league, ahead of the Oilers 10 year rebuild? Or was drafting McDavid the start of the 4th iteration of the Oilers rebuild, so it is only 2 years in now?

See, I don't get this, since about the halfway point of the season, the Oilers have been basically a .500 team, which is an improvement on their previous 10 years, but just goes to show what a hot start can do for you.
To be honest after more then a decade of rebuilding and drafting incredibly high, for them to be where they're at today is actually really sad, they're a team that doesn't have much depth and doesn't have a huge amount of "Future" to get excited about, outside of JP, they're rather ordinary at best prospect wise.
And now the biggest problem is the addition of probably more then $20 million in payroll over the next couple of seasons, that's going to force them to further weaken their depth, and they don't have anything exciting coming up to fill in those losses.
So is this season a blip instead of an indicator of a long and bright future? That's a very real possibility, that the one thing that they craved in McDavid the new super franchise player that would lead them out of the woods, could also be the implement of mediocre future that the Oilers might be facing.
