Carolina Hurricanes is the clear winner. Missed playoffs 8 times in a row since 2008. /Thread
They've also won a cup, and were never at the bottom of the standings. They only picked 5th overall twice, and were never lower than that. Oilers had a 10 year run of no playoffs.
Anyways, I think it comes down to these three.
Edmonton had a really rough 10 years after that cup final appearance. Took them a long f***ing time to finally break that cold streak, and all it took was lucking out to draft a generational talent.
Arizona has been pretty bad, aside from one playoff run. Seems they're always having financial and attendance issues as well.
Buffalo hasn't been getting results for a while now. No idea what's going on with them. They have quite a bit of talent.
I'd probably lean towards Phoenix/Arizona. Oilers a close second.
