I'd rather be in the former group that in the latter.
I think that those teams got their skill first before adding depth. Each of those teams were built around skill like Staal, Getzlaf Perry Crosby, Kopitar, Bergeron, Crosby,Malkin Doughty , Toews, Kane, Keithand filled in veterans for depth later like Rechhi, Guerin, Madden, Campbell, Richards later
