5 years ago the oipers picked the best player of this generation, the Flames top player was a 4th round pick.
Flames worst trade was likely futures for Hamonic where the Oilers trades futures for a AHL player and traded a top line forward for a second pair D
Let’s just say they made bad trades and made the same amount of picks so I can drag the Flames down to the Pilers level of horrendous management.
Flames haven’t been run perfectly but not even close to buying your narrative they have been as bad as the Oilers.

I'm one of the furthest from praising the oilers, and the last 20 years have been absolutely pathetic by them, no doubt. Certainly they compete with the cleveland browns as the worst ever sports franchise.
That being said, our relative lack of "success" in the form of playoff victories makes the flames general less suckage kind of moot. yeah, we have sucked less. But we still suck.
