Disagree. There are lots of rosters in the league with 2 or 3 excellent players who are not very good teams. Look at Dallas. Or LA.
Putting together a supporting cast is much more difficult that people are giving the Pens credit for. If you don't have strong drafting and development you have to fill out the roster with expensive free agents, then you run into cap problems and you have to let good players walk.
Keep Crosby, Malkin, and Fleury on the Pens and replace the rest of the roster with the Stars lineup minus and Benn, Seguin, and Klingberg, or the Kings lineup minus Doughty, Kopitar, and Quick, and you do not have a very good team.
