People in other places see highlight reels - and who's on them? McDavid.

People seem to forget how the Oilers were viewed pre-McDavid. They were the laughing stock of the league and nobody wanted to play there. They are still riding the wave of a new arena and McDavid but when he leaves things, the market will correct. If the Flames can build a good prospect base between now and the new arena the Flames should receive a bit of a bump at the same time the Oilers are forced to hit the reset button.
