But elite teams need elite players to build around. The more elite players a team has, the weaker the supporting players can be.

Absolutely false. You win with depth.
LA and Chicago were the epitome of depth. Pittsburgh is the only one that you could try to argue won because of their elite players, but even for them, they had Crosby and Malkin every year but only won when other players like Kessel and Bonino and Guetsel (SP) and Murray and many others stepped up and made huge contributions.
The Oilers are the anti-thesis of depth and are no where near in the same ballpark as these teams.
