I would also argue that this team is loaded with WAY more talent than the 04 group.
I’m a goalie, and Kipper was the greatest... but come on.
PS: Smith is no slouch.

His Cup run with Calgary was still in the clutch and grab era.
His Cups with LA were about the team getting hot at the right time. Those were not dominant Presidents Cup contending teams he was at the helm of. They never won a division title under his watch, and were usually a lower seeded team.
I'd rather have a coach with a track record of coaching his teams to 100+ point seasons, division titles and President's trophies.
I think you have a better chance of winning it all that way than slipping into the playoffs as a lower seed hoping to get hot, even despite LA's two Cup wins.
