If you had told me that the cost of the Chicago Blackhawks winning 3 Stanley Cups in 6 seasons was going to result in a few seasons of struggle and missing the playoffs, I would have still jumped at the opportunity. Now, if you also told me that the Blackhawks missing the playoffs would give them the third overall pick in one season, I probably would have had a parade downtown.
My point is that there is a price when it comes to success and the Chicago Blackhawks are currently dealing with it. Although the team has played well as of late, they are not succeeding in all aspects of the game.
