That's what happened to the Penguins. I believe the Penguins won their last cup when Crosby was 30 and since then they made it past the first round once after, and today are what the Lighting could be late this decade as the loss of all these draft picks will catch up with them. I think the Lighting have maybe 2-3 years left in their window but sometimes the window closes fast.
