The really impressive thing is that when their window for winning was opened in 2014-15... they had their core in place Stamkos, Killorn, Johnson, Palat, Kucherov, Hedman, Vasilevskiy and they had some set backs but they identified that they needed "truculence" and went out and got it while hanging on to their skilled core. That is an amazing feat of player management.
