Also your geography point is dead on. I think the recent move to Toronto has really helped this team. Before a lot of players who were born in the Toronto area just didn't want to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs. But now that the Toronto Maple Leafs have moved to Toronto a lot more players want to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

You can't really dismiss the art of tanking. Others have been Pittsburgh (Cups), Chicago (Cups), Washington (Cup), TB (Cup). There is admittedly an elemnt of luck or planning to tanking at the right time to get a Mario, Crosby, Ovie, or Kane.
