What makes for a Stanley Cup drought?

For the purposes of this piece, any team that has not won the Stanley Cup in 20 years.

Teams like the Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, Columbus Blue Jackets and Winnipeg Jets (started in 1999-2000 as the Atlanta Thrashers). Teams that were not in existence in the 1993-94 season are not eligible.
