Franchise center please.
To me it feels like teams that consistently make the playoffs put just can't pull off a cup win(Blues, Rangers, Preds, Habs) all have one thing in common: They got a great number 1 defenseman, but they lack of a game-breaking center(Preds do have Johansen, but he was injured in the finals).
This can easily be flipped. Teams like the caps, ducks, flyers, NYI have made the playoffs a bunch of times over the last few years but don't have a cup final to show for it. They all have/had a great 1C, but they all lack a true 1D. I can see Edmonton and Dallas joining this group. And at least the Rangers and preds made the SCF.
