Just because the Oilers messed up for so long doesn't mean that is the default timeline to success. I'm also not saying it guarantees success.
But If you look at the top teams in the league and look at how many have top 5 draft picks, you'll start to see a pattern.
Franchise players are hard to acquire unless it's through the draft.

What do you mean look what the Leafs did? They were in purgatory for a decade before they got Matthews. Outside of one fluke playoff appearance in the lockout shortened season they were a decade without playoffs and had top 10 picks from 09, 12, 14, 15 )not to mention trading them away in 10, 11).
And what have they accomplished? Less than Treliving’s Flames
