Keep in mind how much talent that team had. Bergeron, Krejki, Marchand, Chara, Lucic in his prime. Oh wait, they also had Seguin the one year they won the cup. And they haven't won since trading him. So your argument is void anyways.

My argument is literally that you should focus on controlling what you can control: draft well, develop well, and mange your assets well. Like - let me think -
Boston for example.
Of course they had talent. All good teams have talent. In fact ALL teams have talent. The debate is whether you can build a good team without tanking. And they most certainly have. And they didn't just build a good team, they remained an excellent team for decades.
But yes, you should try and use Seguin, their one top 4 pick in the last 25 years, a guy who was not at all a factor in their cup win, a guy who was 19, and contributed a whopping 22 points the year they won, and only played 13 playoff games, as proof of your point. Okay then.
