Lol no I think you misunderstood. It's a question of a franchise C vs franchise D. As in 1v1. The pens have 2 guys who are above franchise C. So yes they lack a franchise D but they have 2 franchise Cs. So it's not the same comparison.
Why is that something to laugh at?
The question is either or
In this case pitsburgh has arguably the 2 best centres in the past decade
Uh, because Anaheim is being listed as an example of how a team can win with a franchise defenseman but without a franchise center? They didn't have just one franchise defenseman, they had two (Pronger and Niedermayer).
So if Anaheim counts as an example in favor of franchise defensemen being more important, then so does Pittsburgh since both had two of what the OP was asking, not just one.
