Is it better to have balanced team and not top heavy talent?

Then you think about it...
The kings had Quick, Kopitar, Brown, Doughty ahead of those guys. So yeah, it fits my bill.
The bruins had Krejci, Bergeron, Lucic and Chara and Thomas are practically homegrown so, yeah it fits my bill.
And the Hawks had Toews, Keith, Seabrook, Kane, Bolland and Niemi apart of their core too... So yeah it fits!

:facepalm:

Chara, the UFA signing, is now "practically home grown"...

meanwhile, none of the guys on this list qualify in your eyes...

Carey Price is a legitimate superstar, and P.K. Subban and Pacioretty aren't exactly far off.

...Andrei Markov used to be one, does that count?

Also this Galchenyuk kid looks like he might be o.k. one day.

I think the opening poster had more of the forward corps in line. I think what is more important is CENTER DEPTH. And oftentimes, there's a 1 or 2 "two-way" centers in there, and some grinder like Max Talbot or Dave Bolland goes berserk in the playoffs and play way above their heads.

For the D corps, if you can't field three competent pairings, then you are NOT winning the Cup, ever.
