Well there's a big difference between a rebuild and full Oiler. If not for the rule designed specifically to keep the Oilers(not bad teams in general) from getting the 1st overall(which got them McDiver), they'd be working on 20 years with no playoffs. Instead, Buffalo is suffering the consequences of Edmonton's
extreme no goodness.
You're not wrong though, they've botched it badly in the past and they have a long way to go. But hopefully the prospects they've gathered in the last few months will encourage them to stick with it rather than trying to go for it with a half-assed attempt like 10 years ago.
