If you include losing to the Stanley cup champion as the criteria for being close, then the list of players that have been “close” to winning a Stanley cup is enormous. This exercise was simply focusing on generational players that have played in the Stanley cup final. And I can’t think of any other than McDavid that have not made to at least one Stanley Cup final.
