I think that is accurate, but highlights the issue that the "all in teams" already spent their capital. There isn't all that much left to trade, whereas the 4-5 year teams have plenty to offer. At some point, they will need to decide to go all in, or risk being really good, but not good enough to win it all. That is where I see the Stars and Hurricanes right now. Excellent teams, but I do wonder if they need to take a risk and push at least some of their chips in.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
