Edmonton through cap issues, and a firm belief they were unlucky have done very little.
Calgary acted as though luck wasn't a variable at all and beefed up their forward group, added depth and changed their coaching staff.

I think it's extremely wise and prudent to not include luck in your analysis of a team. If you're wrong about luck being a factor and you stand pat, you're going to have another awful year. If you're right and luck was a factor, and then you also improve the team substantially, you should be unstoppable.
Luck cannot be a considering factor for any GM.
