A lot of luck also goes into winning a Cup. Anything can happen in a 7 game series. Blowing all your chips on one run will lower the likelihood of contending in future years. I'd rather five plus seasons of being a good contender than one season of being a great one.

Yup any assets spent should be used to make a team a contender long term.
Nashville, Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc all have done a good job of this in the past. Try not to waste assets on rental players.
It's why I feel like if the Flames are looking at any player right now closely it's probably Hoffman.
