The Oilers will always have a loser culture but they have 2 guys elite enough to almost overcome it.
Good players win.

The Panthers had a few players who underachieved every playoffs. They were traded to the Flames. Huberdeau and Weegar were their worst players every playoffs!
We gave them Tkachuk who we were convinced couldn't get it done here and he helped change their culture. He's also like you said an elite winger when healthy. We also gifted them another good center who turns into a borderline elite player come playoff time. And we traded him for Toppi Ronni who is currently in jail.
Yet some people are preaching here about winning culture lol. Give me a break!
