No. There is a worse place than purgatory, and that is hell. Hell for Oilers fans is being embarrassed every year while the rest of the League walks over your cap-strapped team, and then seeing elite-level prospects come in and continue to make absolutely no difference at all.

No. Not even the Draft Lottery can save the Edmonton Oilers.

Nothing can.

Nothing.
