Edmonton started tanking 12 years ago and have finally broken through. All it took was winning the once in a generation talent in a timeframe where they picked in the top ten 11 times in 13 years.
Buffalo is a prime example of how this takes forever to work. They also have had a horrendous run and since they didn’t get McDavid they have not been able to pull themselves out.
Flames are a similar market to those teams and shamelessly tanking likely leads to a decade of darkness before it leads to a cup
