Because their best players - Gaudreau, Monahan, Lindholm, Brodie and Tkachuk to an extent - are in their prime. And other key players - Giordano and Backlund - are going to decline going forward.
Just because they haven't had success yet, doesn't mean they can't next year (see St Louis last year)
When your core is in their prime, pretty much every organization will look to add to it, not tear it apart and start over again.
the difference between winning and losing is razor-thin.
