Why do Edmonton and Buffalo NOT have Stanley Cups rolling in?
I view an organization as a pyramid. 1 is the top (least important), 5 is the base and most important:

1. Supporting cast around core
2. Coaching
3. Drafting/Homegrown talent
4. GM
5. Ownership

Ownership pays for the 4 things above. Want to know why Edmonton and Buffalo suck? Ownership.
