uhhh Detroit has only had 1 cup in that time, and it came at the tail end of probably the best 3rd line ive seen in the playoffs. if you are including before that, which is technically a different system, the red wings used something the canucks couldnt due to funds. detroit had the best scouting due to money other teams couldnt afford to put in, and were able to outscout other teams to find gems, they also signed top players all the time because they had the money or could afford to take on the contracts from other teams.
