Edmonton has done nothing but squander building a cup winning team around McDavid, if they somehow finally manage to do it like any other management group would've been able to with McDavid/Drai, then it'll be on the back of McDavid and not any impressive decisions by management.
They are not and will never be a model for success. If luck is your founding principle, you can't really be emulated. Them winning will do nothing for our ownership that hasn't already happened since the playoff series loss against the Oilers. And if any small mindset shift did happen, it's NOT worth the Oilers winning the cup at any time ever lol.
Sorry but ya the Oilers winning a cup is absolutely not acceptable under any circumstance.

I don't think I made my thoughts very clear. I am not saying that Edmonton is a model franchise or one to be copied, far from that. That being said, they have been a better team in recent years and may be able to have some additional post season success.
Personally I think the Oilers have been extremely poorly managed for a very very very long time, but so have the Flames. A lot of time I think each fan base looks at each other pissing and moaning when in reality we are both losers. Misery loves company so to speak.
Both franchises had the most success when both were fantastic teams, success and competing against it makes everybody better.
If Edmonton is able to do some damage, it may provoke ownership and management to quit messing around.
