The depth is better than the Isles dynasty and the Pens of 1993 would get sweep in 4 games.
I would take the Habs dynasty too. However, while the 1993 Pens choked badly they were two time Cup champs with Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Stevens, Mullen, Tocchet, Murphy and Barrasso on their team. Coached by Scotty Bowman. I'm sorry, but Mario is clearly better than anyone on either one of the Isles or Habs dynasty. There is no way those Pens teams get swept. Sorry, but that was a damn fine team too and it just wouldn't happen. The Habs beat them in a clean 6 games, no worse though.
Between the Isles and the Habs to me it's still Montreal. That domination of the rest of the NHL was just spectacular and we may never see that again. They had the best player in the NHL, the best goalie and (depending on the year) the best defenseman. Oh yeah, they had the best coach then too. No disrespect to the Isles, but the 1970s Habs are kind of in their own class (maybe 1950s Habs). The Isles fare better in a comparison with the Oilers
