Pocklington, the Oilers owner, could afford to keep a dynastic team together, but his other businesses were sinking fast so he started trading away stars in 1987. OR McNall, the Kings owner, didn't go to jail leading to the dismantling of a cup runner up team starting in 1993. Wayne payed teammates when Kings payroll checks bounced eventually leading to his second trade. OR Gary Suter doesn't add to his back problems with the boarding during the 1991 Canada Cup. We can go on and on with ifs.
