They won the Presidents Trophy in back to back years in 11-12. No cups, one appearance past the second round but consistently looking like a threat and winning the division. Hard not to say that was a successful run for them.
The 17- present Leafs have not won the Atlantic (give them credit for the Canadian division) missed the playoffs technically in 2020 as they lost their play-in round in the 8-9 matchup. And lost in the first round in every other year except this where they were swiftly eliminated by the 8 seed in round 2. They were a tire fire before missing the playoffs every year from the lockout on with the exception of the 48 game season in 2013. They have been near the top of the league over the past 5 years. Success for them relative to recent years but overall nothing to show for it.

That iteration of the Canucks was definitely successful. They were a top tier team and were one win away from it all.
