Yes the Oilers have been worse than the flames the last 20 years. However neither team has done squat relatively speaking. Doesn’t change the fact I will always cheer for the flames. However as stated as of now all of the teams(Nucks, oilers and flames) are essentially level now.
I still wouldn’t mortgage any high draft picks for a stop gap measure. One average top six player isn’t then one to jump the hurdle to contender status.
