You need the picks and you need to be one of the best run organizations.

And you need to be a market where players want to play, where they will sign a UFA contract for $2M less than they would elsewhere. No Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup in the cap era, but the Oilers have come closest because players want to sign lowball short-term contracts with them to play with MAvi and boost their point totals so they can get more on their next contract.
