I don't think there is any reasonable case for the Oilers and Islanders to be in separate tiers. Both had dynasties in the '80s and haven't done much of anything since
@TopTierPucks@dhockey13@30G30N@zach_20007 Nah I’m sorry but you’re wrong. You’re looking at it too black and white. The oilers should be close to the bottom BECAUSE they got 4 first overall draft picks and then didn’t win the cup and wasted arguably the greatest talent this league has ever seen career
@K_Stebb@dhockey13@30G30N@zach_20007 Not true. Otherwise this list would just be a cup ranking. By your logic Buffalo is on par with any competitive franchise over the past decade who hasn’t won a cup. If you’re continually bad you build a losing culture and could be relocated
@K_Stebb@dhockey13@30G30N@zach_20007 There’s more to playoff success than winning cups. Would you say St. louis is more a successful playoff team over the past 7 years than Dallas
@TopTierPucks@dhockey13@30G30N@zach_20007 What playoff success? They haven’t won a cup in over 30 years. Lost 2 finals (embarrassing), had the decade of darkness where the league literally had to rewrite the rule book because of how many 1st overalls the oilers got.
@dhockey13@30G30N@zach_20007 I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as in Toronto. Edmonton has had lots of playoff success and their stars show up. 80s Oilers are doing a lot of the carrying tbf
@rudyking29@JFreshHockey Bro it doesn’t exist, oiler fans made it up because they wanted something to cling to because their team has amounted to nothing even though they were gifted 4 1st overall picks 😭😭😭. Congrats on your made up wins though
@K_Stebb@OilyBigDog@Sportsnet A generational talent and 3 other 1st oa picks * 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once Mcdavid leaves it will truly be one of the greatest failures in sports history
@OilyBigDog@XxWetBallzxX@Sportsnet Sorry bro, as bad as the Canucks are the oilers are worse, the draft rules literally had to change because your poverty franchise got so many 1st overalls, and you still couldn’t even win the cup 😭😭😭. We’re literally the best franchise to tell you these things
@OilyBigDog@XxWetBallzxX@Sportsnet Because we know all to well about the latter, it’s literally cup or bust my guy. We’re probably the best at telling you that you’ve wasted a great players career.
@K_Stebb@XxWetBallzxX@Sportsnet Meanwhile we’ve literally been to the finals 2 years in a row. Imagine saying they wasted Connor lmao you clowns never stop
@OilyBigDog@XxWetBallzxX@Sportsnet That’s literally because the oilers were retarded and didn’t manage the team properly. You guys literally managed to waste the best talent the nhl has ever seen
@OilyBigDog@Sportsnet All for nothing if you don’t win the cup, that’s literally the only goal for every team. Cup or bust, and every other team managed to do it when they were gifted a generational talent. The oilers literally are the laughing stock of the league.
