Actually, that's not all. You also need puck luck at the right time, and not to be hobbled by injuries when you have a shot, and not to draw an opponent who knows your Achilles heel and can exploit it. NO plan can get you these things.
It's not just management that has to go on a heater.

...what a useless conversation this is then.
I'm saying you need something to act as the foundation to build a championship team otherwise you're an outlier and your odds of success are greatly reduced. I'm pulling what the basis for that foundation should be based on similarities with championship teams in recent history.
and you just...don't believe in anything but luck. So there's no point in planning a roster or hiring good coaches because you can't account for the fact that you just need bounces. Maybe we can sign James Neal, Troy Brouwer, a 48 year old Cale Hulse and have them coached by Glen Gulutzan and they stand just as good a chance as a Joe Sakic crafted roster because they may get lucky. Neat.
