People like to cite the Sabres, Oilers, and Senators as teams that prove scorched earth rebuilds rarely work.
So let’s look at three teams who haven’t committed to rebuilds, which I’ll define as haven’t drafted top 3 in the last 15 years, have made the playoffs around half of those years, but haven’t played in a SCF:
Flames, Wild, Islanders.
Never really bad. Never really great. Just chugging along.
Are those three franchises more successful than the Sabres, Oilers, and Senators? Which group of teams would you bet produces a Cup winner first?
