You're also looking at a lot of teams that built their draft strategy prior to the draft lottery changes and some even prior to the cap changes.
What Pittsburgh did, way back in 2002-2006, with two first and two second overall picks in 4 years doesn't happen anymore. Even then, they had to hit Crosby to make it work.
For every team that won a cup tanking out, there are multiple teams that just ended up bad or mediocre. Take a look at Buffalo, Vancouver, and the NYI. It's the teams that pull off moves like Vegas that win the cups. Yes, you need some high end talent from the draft, but once you have a couple of high end players to build around, the rest is up to asset management.

No, not what I'm asking at all. But we will carry on. I've already wrote 4 pages on it, I dont expect you to read all of it. I've literally already addressed why these teams aren't comparables already...
