Florida Panthers, 1993, 22 Seasons
Although better recently, the Florida Panthers have only made the playoffs in five of their 22 seasons. That being said, they have been to the Stanley Cup Final once, losing to the Colorado Avalanche back in 1996.
They are another team that could be close. They finished first in the Atlantic Division this season but were ousted in the first round by the New York Islanders. They have a core of very good young players led by Aleksander Barkov, Aaron Ekblad, Nick Bjugstad, and Vincent Trocheck, all 23 or younger.
They also have a very old, but very talented Jaromir Jagr for at least another season. His window is closing but the Panthers look solid for years to come and have a definite chance to get back to the finals.
