You just need to have good ownership and good management. That is the key to success, and why Detroit has doen well, and why Pittsburgh has done well (yes Crosby obviously helps the most, but they still have great management and ownership, and they know how to draft and build a team. Shero is one of the best GM's, and now Bylsma is one of the best coaches in the league). Chicago was crap until they started drafting well and until their terrible owner passed away.
Edmonton will get better because they now have a solid owner who cares, and decent management. Ditto Winnipeg if Chevaldayoff turs out to be a good GM, because they now have owners that truly care and are passionate about hockey and about winning hockey.
Those are thw teo keys to success. Management and ownership. It appears that Ottawa has these two things even though Eugune is a doofus sometimes.
