Okay... so the 2007 Oilers had a losing attitude? The same team that had just gone to the SCF the year prior? Or... maybe... they subtracted talent in the name of Chris Pronger..?
Last year's Oilers were 37-25-9 by the way. They were firmly in a playoff spot and while it was hilarious to watch their goaltending collapse against the Blackhawks and their lack of depth scoring fail them... that's not a losing attitude.
The Oilers for all their ####ups are the kind of organization the Flames should strive to be.

really they won a lottery that has moved them from terrible to mediocre

They won a lottery by having higher chances at winning a lottery by... losing. Which, again, has not been detrimental to the successful development of individuals on their team.
You look at their roster, and "losing attitude" isn't what ails them. A lack of talent in their bottom nine, maybe.

I have looked at the last fifteen years, yes. Where they've won as many playoff series as the Flames and look to win a lot more going forward.
