There was a loser mentality culture before DL got in there...that's why the year before DL came in we fell from 2nd place in the West to missing the playoffs because we traded away all of our assets and had nobody to bring up. Our Development program was crap.

I think you are taking to much credit towards DL here. Yeah, he did develop those players, but you still have to give Quick and Kopitar something here. They did the work and put in the time and effort. They coul have gone the way of POS, but they put inthe effort. DL deserves credit for their development, but it's not like he did it all.
