That is kind of what I am getting that. Those teams won in a stretch from 2009 to 2020. Tampa won near the end of that stretch and it had more to do with Kucherov and Point than Stamkos. Prior to Tampa going back to back, you have a few teams that were able to draft develop and win. Off the top of my head only LA didn't benefit from a 8 plus year contract, but I could be wrong on that.

If I have some time maybe I will do the same thing but do the top 10 scoring in playoffs. At the end of the day, that is what can swing a series.
