Attitude & motivation are pretty underrated factors. If talent trumped all then mcdrai would have ring collections.
I think it's hugely important to have a group of guys that want to be here and want to don the C. You need guys that will go through walls for Huska, and I fear that his ideas/vision may fall on deaf ears over time all the same because the players in that room don't share his passion for being here and playing here.

Vegas has one of the top 5 on paper talent as well
Heck they paid 90+ million for the talent last year
