Well, yeah, but thats largely because when teams are done dealing with Crosby and Malkin who can they match up against Kessel?
He gets some pretty favourable matchups. Thats not a slight against him its just prudent coaching and enviable depth. But theres one team in the league that has it and there was a lot of good fortune involved in getting there.
Its just the sign of a deep, deep team.
