Boston maybe. They only missed the playoffs for 2 years.
From 2004-06 they drafted Krejci , Kessel(Seguin), Marchand, and Lucic.
They had Bergeron in the system from 2003.
They signed UFAs Thomas and Chara, and traded for the rest of their D.
It still took them until 2011-12 to win the cup, and they lost in the 2nd round in the two prior years.
