It took Edmonton 50 tries just to have the second best team in a weak canadian division.
Tanking and getting first over all isn't really a guarantee of success.
Invest more into scouting and talent evaluation. It is basically the only way out of this.

Buffalo has a ton of valuable young players. Notably Eichel and Dahlin.
New Jersey does as well, plus they have the most cap space in the league. If they use it, look out for a huge jump in the standings.
Both of these teams will get yet another top prospects after the 2021 draft.
Most fans would gladly trade The entire Flames system/roster with either of these teams.
Although Skinner's contract is extremely bad.
