I can appreciate your opinion and I'm not saying to throw everything away if the teams playing well. You just ride the wave as long as you can without crippling the longterm goal of the team. In order to hunt for the cup every year (as you stated) the team needs to develop a quality organization as a whole.
Sure the goal every year is to win the cup, but a more longterm quality goal of being competitive and capable of winning the cup on a more consistent bases from this point on is a much smarter goal.
Longterm sustainability of high quality hockey is a much better business model then selling the farm to win the cup one year while not being able to sustain it for any amount of time.
