That's the same as the 12 years preceding the salary cap.
There are still dominant teams.

I bet as the salary cap sinks in more and more, you'll have far less dominant teams, and way more Stanley cup winners.
The dominant teams are largely a holdover from the pre-salary cap era.
And I would argue that there are no dominant teams today. They are all flawed to some extent, some more than others. And that's why teams that haven't preformed all that will during the season can win a Stanley Cup. There is simply little margin between those teams that lead the league and those that squeak into the playoffs.
