Go the other way and find teams that are frequent contenders win the cup without that level of talent. It's harder. Boston, basically... but Bergeron Chara is also not a replicable model. At least there's a path to the rebuild strategy.
Buffalo is the only real team who has truly bottomed out and failed to climb back up though. The other half measure bottom out teams are also floundering (Detroit). We're setting up to be a less youthfully talented Detroit right now.

Columbus has bottomed out and continues to be awful, they have 5 picks in the top 6 over the past 10 years. Utah has been bad forever and they have 7 picks in the top 7 in the last 11 years. The Blackhawks are years away from being competitive and they have had 5 picks in the top 7 over the last 7 years. The Ducks are horrific and they have had 4 picks in the top 6 over the last 5 years.
It is more accurate to say any team that tanks usually just sucks forever.
