At the time that the Penguins won their first cup, Letang was not anywhere close to future Norris winning Letang. Gonchar was closer.
A team built with Tavares, Eichel, Dahlin as the core pieces with O'Reilly, Ristolainen, Okposo, Mittelstadt, Reinhart and Nylander (if he meets his draft expectations) as complimentary core players would be insane. Easily a favourite within the next 4 years. I can't see how that would be debatable.
