The Nordiques/Avs were lucky enough to have Joe Sakic on top of their three no.1s though.
To be honest if Lindros hadn't been a baby and demanded a trade, they probably still would've won multiple Cups with a Sakic/Lindros/Roy core.
I don't think that Sundin trade was great either. Imagine Sakic/Lindros/Sundin down the middle, lol or even Sakic/Sundin/Forsberg. They probably could've won an additional Cup or two. That's something that I don't think people realize when they say Colorado worked on great ... yes, but they quite possibly also lost a Cup or two by not getting a great return on Sundin.
