Model franchise, I keep thinking of the parity of the NFL. I cheer for the Broncos, they have a decent defence and a great offence in recent years, and I would call them competive. But they haven't had an all out great team, and they are playing against other teams that are in the same boat as themselves. ( a few bad teams, many mediocore teams, and a few good teams)
Point is that I would rather watch the NFL because there is so much parity, and taking chances on one/two players is the difference between a winner and loser. The oilers run a tight fiscal ship, but they don't come close to the on ice product of the elite teams. Boo Ethan.

There are some observors who say "parity" is simply another word for "mediocrity," that a league that denies dynasties also denies greatness.
I'm not in that camp, but that's one view.
