Don't despair you'll remain good enough to finish just out of the playoffs which means you still won't get a top draft pick. They shoulda blew things up 3 or 4 years ago while your players still had trade value, instead they will languish in mediocrity until they hit rock bottom and finally start a rebuild...a rebuild will take 4 to 5 years as us Oiler fan know (we are still likely 2 years away)...That sir is why! You asked...

There are others way of undergoing a rebuild than following the Oilers model of being one of the worst teams in the league for the better part of 6 years.
Some franchises have to much pride to allow the team to be that bad for that long
