That is not necessarily true. Both teams are currently considered contenders and at the top of the Pacific division. Anywhere from 1-4 forwards get to play with 1 or both of those players depending if they split them up or not. Markstrom literally had both teams offering him big money long term deals and he picked Calgary.
Oilers won a playoff series last year so they have the bragging rights but the Oilers are certainly not a lock to be more appealing than the flames. Flames finished 7pts ahead last year and have an open spot on the wing after strengthening the middle of the ice and blueline last year.
