Sure, though as you may recall, they famously created that team to not necessarily have the very best players throughout, but to play roles. And they focused on defence, which Jaybo is good at. Also on that team: Dan Hamhuis, Sharp, Duchene, Kunitz. And you can’t tell me Mike Smith was the 3rd best Canadian goalie ahead of Fleury.
Jaybo was traded to St. Louis and they struggled for years. A fantastic Dman but when they won the cup he was 34 and behind Peitrangelo, Parayko etc.
ETA: I also don’t buy the “can’t win” story. ROR was the same. But you never heard that about Iginla who actually didn’t win.
