Link to these pundits and thoughts? I'd like to read their justification. Basketball is pretty much a 6-7 man game and those guys drive your franchise. Hockey is not like that at all. No one is going to win with a 6-7 man team, not in a league where attrition plays such a huge role in team success. You need 23 guys in hockey to survive a season and more to win the cup. The more top performers you have versus the other team, the better your chances.
