You already know going into the year they will make the playoffs but have 0% chance of winning the cup. I don't want to be a Dallas Stars.
How can you say they have 0% chance of winning the cup? Based on what.

ESPN has them with the 6th best odds:

CBS 5th best:

Fanduel 5th best:

Athletic 4th best:

As others have reference they've made the conference several times. In terms of being a contender, they are one. In a world where 1 team wins the cup every year, if your definition of a contender or successful model is only winning the cup it's far too narrow.
