I disagree with this point. The Penguins fired Therrien in season and hired Bylsma and won the cup that year. A couple years later, after firing Bylsma, they hired Mike Johnson. A year and half into his term, they realized it was a mistake and fired him and hired Sullivan. And again won the cup the same year they'd fired a coach. LA also won the cup the year they fired Murray and hired Darryl. Back in the 90s and early 2000s Lou Lamoriello mowed through a ton of coaches while they won 3 cups with a different coach each time (and others in between the wins).
Stability is definitely an approach that a lot of good teams take, but so is replacing a guy when an upgrade is available, or when things just aren't working out.
