Because of the high talent level of several of the Jets players it is not as obvious that the Jets have the same focus as a team, but I think they do.

You can make a similar argument for Tampa Bay. Lots of talent but they do play together very well too. The Jack Adams winner seldom coaches a team that was expected to do well at the start of the season. Although I think Cooper and Maurice will be top 4 in this year's voting with Gallant.
I think Vegas takes the team play concept to a pretty high level. But I think they have gone as far as they can with it. Fleury will need to severely outplay Hellybyuck for them to win. But Hellybyuck has not shown any signs of having his game fall off where that is going to happen.
