Paulie Walnuts was claiming that you can only draft top-5 if you deliberately tear down the team and do a scorched-earth rebuild. I gave a counterexample. I was not attempting to solve the general problem of how to win the Stanley Cup, because there is no general solution.

I think the difference is a tear down is deliberate and works. What happened with Colorado was just random luck. We should be operating deliberately based on statistical probability. Creating our own opportunities for luck not just hoping it happens by chance.
