How Does London Do It?

[Kingpin794]

Their blueprint is supported by owning the team and having a consistent couch/head office for 2 decades. More teams don't follow suit because that in itself is extremely hard to achieve. Then they have to be good at what they do on top of that.

Even outside of that. Try doing what they do. Draft high end Euros every time and get them to report 9/10 times. Try to get defected players to chose to sign with you. Try to get random NHL draft picks from older drafts to show up when you need them (might be easier to do now). Try to get 2nds and 3rds for your 4th liners. If anyone else tries this, they set their franchise up to be god awful because even good teams miss most of the time of those kind of plays. Its incredibly naïve, bordering on childish thinking to just assume anyone can emulate these things. Its like saying Superman is the model person and all you have to do is fly around the sun. Why don't you just fly around the sun? Don't you want to be the man of steel too?

Right now; the management team, coach, and ability to recruit of Kitchener is as good as it gets in the OHL.
