I've thought a lot about this. I came to the conclusion that it's much harder to build a hockey team than an NFL team. In hockey, there is nothing as golden as hitting on a QB. It's more like a baseball team, only as good as it's middle relief. Also, having to draft prospects at 18 and letting them develop for years in the Juniors and Minors elongates the process and produces a lot of draft misses. Players in the NHL also have extensive no-trade clauses that keep bad teams bad. Not that these are excuses, but they do explain how Pegula can be a good NFL owner and a really bad NHL owner.
