Even good teams have to be good with their long term asset management.

All of the teams that built themselves into legit contenders for multiple years have won a cup in the salary cap era except for San Jose.
Vegas hasn't won either yet I guess, but they've only been in the league 4 years and aren't done yet, plus they've had 3 deep runs in those 4 years now.
You need to be patient and build a contender that has staying power. You can only do that buy drafting/developing well and managing your cap and assets effectively.
