Teams that try to get the skill first without the supporting cast flounder aka, Florida, New York Islanders, Edmonton, etc.
I'd rather be in the former group that in the latter.

I think that those teams got their skill first before adding depth. Each of those teams were built around skill like Staal, Getzlaf Perry Crosby, Kopitar, Bergeron, Crosby,Malkin Doughty , Toews, Kane, Keithand filled in veterans for depth later like Rechhi, Guerin, Madden, Campbell, Richards later
