He can't. They have rules to stop every black ace from getting their name put on.

Players appearing in 41 regular-season games for the championship team or in one Stanley Cup final game for that team have their names engraved on the Cup. The NHL makes exceptions for players who do not meet the standard because of injury or other extenuating circumstances.

That can be very generous though, for example Konstantinov has his name under 1998 as well despite his career having ended the year before.
