Serious question:
How can the Flames "take a page out of the Oilers book" when they got there by being as ####ty as any team in professional sports has ever been? Over a ten year span no less?
You call it a 'narrative'; we call it Fact
Fact: the Flames can't just 'take a page out of the Oilers book" because the two lynch pins for that team aren't guys manufactured out of thin air...
People are criticizing you because you make it sound like all the Flames have to so is adjust their game either system wise or philosophically wise.
its neither... in order to get a generational talent, you pretty much need to win the draft lottery... or 4 in the Oilers' case
