Oiler fans and media are so delusional it is funny for us but embarrassing for them. That organization has had 9 top 10 picks in the last 10 drafts. The fanbase will tell you the rebuild started 8 years ago in the 09/10 season. Since that year the only season they didn't draft in the top 4 was the lockout shortened 2013 season.
Mark Spector talks about how the Flames were supposed to be ahead. The Flames started their rebuild 3 years after the Oilers and have only drafted top 10 3 times and look poised to make the playoffs for the 2nd time in their 4 year rebuild. Edmonton hasn't made it for 11 years and has finished bottom 3 for the 8 years before this season.
The Flames catch them in the standings despite a horrible start to the year yet this fanbase remains arrogant enough to say they are a far better team top to bottom.
I really hope they slide right out of the playoffs and LA takes their place
