Vernon had the 88- 89 - 90 - 91 lineups. Put Kipper in those years and he would have probably done the same if not better than Vernon. All those teams could have won Cups.
He wouldn't. He needed long rest to be elite. On regular rest he was not any better than Vernon. Kipper's post-lockout teams, albeit less stacked than Vernon's, never really played to their potential either.
