Its not as easy as some people make it out to be...there is a ton of luck involved..
Yes, but how many teams that haven't sucked in the cap era have won the Cup? Boston? Detroit pre-Cup but they also willing to bottom out now.

If you want to put a team that likely makes or at least fights for the playoffs most years, but outside of some insane Cinderalla run or even better luck than winning the draft lottery, it's fine staying mediocre and hoping. The Minnesota/Calgary type strategy. But if you want to win the Cup, how haven't we learned from at least Crosby and the Penguins in 2009?
