Changing my vote to the 1970-1974 Blackhawks after acquiring Esposito.
Finished 1st in their conference all 4 years, lost to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Canadiens twice. Hull, Mikita, and Esposito setting records and fighting for the Hart.
The 1972 season, for example, saw the team put up 256 goals and only have 166 scored against them for a +/- of +90.
