strongly strongly disagree. What the bruins and that ducks team showed was just how dominant those generational elite dmen can be.
Pronger, Neidermayer, Chara were absolute stud dmen in their cup run years. Hell, just look at the fact that pronger went to the cup finals like 3 times with 3 different teams (oilers, ducks, flyers).
Flames have good top 3 d, but nowhere near what made those cup teams ultimately cup winners.
