Just looked up Nashville. Made playoffs 10 times, 3 first round wins, and last season made the final.
Better then us, but not as big a gap as I thought

I did this analysis last May (so probably included last season to that point...not sure)...surprised I actually managed to find the post:

Since 1990, if we're looking at playoff series victories as the key metric of success:
Thrashers/Jets - 0/0 since '99
Columbus - 0/0 since '00
Arizona - 2 series wins (same year) (includes Winnipeg years)
Florida - 3 series wins (same year) since '93
Islanders - 3 series wins over 2 seasons
Minnesota - 4 series wins over 3 seasons since '00
Nashville - 4 series wins over 4 seasons since '98
Calgary - 4 series wins over 2 seasons
Blues and Leafs haven't made the finals, but have won around a dozen series each. If we back it up a year and include our cup as a trump card, we leap frog about 7 more teams like Buffalo, Washington, Philly, SJ, etc.

Only the Islanders and Coyotes are non-expansion teams worse than us. pretty sad.
