Anaheim I didn't think had the most elite talent to even get to the Stanley Cup. They had to beat a probably a better Detroit more talented team.
LA Kings I don't think had by far the most elite talent to even get to the Stanley Cup either. They were 8th going into the playoffs tough to say they won on talent alone.
A whole lot sometimes has to go right for most teams to simply say Elite Talent wins you the cup. There is more to it than just that.
I'm not suggesting it is just hard work and a winning culture that wins clearly I'd be wrong with just that sort of a blanket statement as well. Yes you do need Elite Talent but you also need intangibles(difficult to measure) as well.
