How many teams are perfectly constructed without any holes?
Most of the recent great teams have relied on a few utility players in their top 6 and have a few holes in their lineup. The difference is that their top players actually show up.

Plus, even just noting tendencies works a lot better when your players have 3 games in a row to get used to them. Calgary’s better performances from their top guys have tended to be in the first games of a series, IIRC.
