The 08 team was better in pretty much every aspect outside of looking at the lineup on paper. 08 was like a well oiled machine offensively and defensively and 09 was basically a "we're going to win on talent."
Hossa didn't necessarily gel well with Datsyuk or Zetterberg and Babcock basically refused to play them together like in 2008 except for when Datsyuk returned from injury in Game 5 of the Finals and couldn't even play center (thus he played on Z's wing.)
And like you mentioned, 2008's goaltending was much better in the regular season (although once the playoffs hit Osgood stepped back up.)
09 Detroit still wins a Cup with better health, but at their best the 08 team was more impressive statically and visually.

If anything, the 15-16 Pens should be the odd ones out here
So an almost entirely hall of fame worthy roster is out? If anything take out the blackhawks
