Now it's hard to screw things up as badly as the Oilers did over the years, but maybe not as hard as we think it is.

Gagner and Cogliano were drafted 6th and 25th overall. That would be like the Flames assuming their two 1sts this year will be stars to lead their team. Not likely. If the Flames were able to land a 2nd and 3rd liner from those picks that would be a win, which is what Gagner and Cogliano were.
