C'mon, that team had great D, great goaltending, and great support players (if you can even call Hossa, Sharp, Kane, Byfulgien, etc. as "support players"). You take that exact 2009/2010 team and swap Toews for Stamkos, they still win the cup

I don't know if this is great comparison. I will agree that having Fedorov on the team was a huge part of the Cups that Detroit won in those years, but Fedorov is a different player from Stamkos. Both highly skilled yes, but Fedorov was a two-time Selke winner. I don't think we'd ever be considering Stamkos for that award. Not at this point anyways.
