I think using Vegas as any kind of real metric for measuring a championship team is dangerous. Not every team can put Mark Stone on IRL and use that cap relief to acquire Jack Eichel and then have them all active at the same time in the playoffs. Couple that with them only having to beat WPG, EDM, DAL (with the Markstorm version of Oettinger) and then a beat up and cooled off Eastern champ that had to sit around for two weeks before the Finals started.

Like, I'm just saying Vegas was good... but they had a lot of things go their way as well. I'm not certain I'd be trying to copy them too much.
