Imagine having no meaningful hockey to watch for a half decade and the future waits to be written.
People around here don't seem to see the impact of bottoming out. It takes 5+ years to recover financially as an owner. They don't get merch sales, playoff revenue and the list goes on.
More oilers 97/29 jersey were sold in Alberta than any flames jersey in the last 10 years. I also would bet you that in the "youth market" that disparity would be even higher and the "youth" are your market in 10 years.

I don't disagree with you, but a small nitpick that the Oilers got 97 and 29 by bottoming out. For a long time.
