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.
Luck in winning lottery, grabbing Kane. Absolutely.
Otherwise can't see luck playing a big part in any of their success.
