I didn't say every team should make the playoffs or win the cup. What they should have is an even playing field to build their teams and not have overly lenient expansion rules lead to an expansion team being gifted a top 5 team right out of the gate.
The ones that draft and develop well, and build a team properly will always have more success. If they wanted to give them an advantage, they should have just given them an extra 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick in every draft for the 1st three years of their existence. And then allowed the other NHL teams to protect more of their assets that they'd built up instead of being pillaged by the new comer.
