^^ Very good points.

Maybe after the new arena is built they will feel even greater pressure to show success. A lot of people are angry with the city for approving funding.

The old boys club at the executive level does need to be cleaned out. It would never happen, but can you imagine if Gretzky was part of the the management team.

Another obstacle for the Oilers is the lack of interest from players in wanting to play in Edmonton. That in itself creates a lot of issues. They need to draft their own players, develop them and resign to long contracts.
