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?
I'm not looking for any of those six teams to produce a Cup winner in the foreseeable future.
