Ultimately the thing that makes this list seem reasonable to me is that it's based on 5 years and when I look at that top 10 list the only team that seems unreasonable would be the Habs.

Yeah. I'm still just so skeptical of the "suck for a while then get good" model. It's failed way way way more often than it's worked. Until a trashy team starts to show an inkling of winning, they're way more a Florida or an Edmonton than they are a Chicago.
