-not being afraid to trade young talent like Kessel and Seguin, when they realize they don't fit their system
-consistently surrounding young players with good veterans like Iginla, Chara, Jagr, etc
-I think their team pack mentality really benefits the young players, and lets them feel comfortable. They know they are protected by the goonism of players like Lucic, Marchand, Thornton, Chara, Boychuk, etc
