and since the year that you get your picks matters, for the 3 years that the Flames did have a lottery pick, the Oilers had the following (Flames - Oilers):
#6 - #7
#4 - #3
#6 - #4
So for the 3 years that the Flames had lottery picks, the Oilers had identical lottery picks (slightly better actually). And on top of that, they also had:
4 #1s, a #8 and a #10
and yet they suck.
