Chicago, though they've had a ton of flops in the past 10 years, has just had a lot of luck(?) at the draft, right players at the right time in the case of Kane and Toews. They've also made the right deals at the right time, not being afraid to move key players or assets. Letting Havlat go and signing Hossa, trading Barker for Leddy, signing Campbell, dumping Campbell, picking up Sharp for spare parts. Byfuglien and Bolland were tough calls but apparently the right guys to trade away. They have gotten a lot of luck along the way and really developed their players to; Saad, Shaw, Bickell, Crawford, Hjalmarson, Kruger.
