Apples to apples.
Det had 3 cups in 6 years.
Chicago might have 3 cups in 6 years.
Are we not judging these teams on the cups they have won? As soon as you start throwing in other variables like cap, then you have to take a look at other variables for past dynasties. Things like expansion, less teams to play against, etc.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines dynasty as:
Quote:
: a family of rulers who rule over a country for a long period of time; also : the period of time when a particular dynasty is in power
: a family, team, etc., that is very powerful or successful for a long period of time

Now going by that definition, would that take into account the regular season? The official definition doesn't specify. Detroit was certainly a ''dynasty'' if so. If we are going by championships, then really the last team to fit that definition would be the Oilers with the 5 cups in 7 years.
