I think the losing mindset that players develop and that teams gain the stigma of, plays a big part of teams being perennial underachievers. Those mindsets are very hard to kill. I think a team like EDM is still trying to get over it.

Edmonton has bad defense and they allocated money to Lucic instead of keeping useful players like Hall. They also wasted a 1st round pick to trade for G. Reinhart.
It has nothing to do with culture imo. Just poor decisions
