LA with Kopitar, Chicago, Pittsburgh imo are the examples of teams that pushed over the top to win a cup(s) because of top end talent. While St. Louis, like Corsi pointed out is a team that is almost built to win a cup by committee but is almost always knocked out by the teams with the superstars.
I feel Calgary may end up being more of a St. Louis. Still a very strong team that's always in the conversation but would be lucky to knock out a true contender on the way to a Cup.
