I don’t think these conclusions your jumping to are as simple as you like to think.

No they weren't. That team didn't go anywhere in the play-offs.
When was the last team to win a Cup that had its best defenseman at the level of Hanifin or Andersson? I guess we could try to break history and do it but unlikely that you are going to win a Cup with that level of defenseman, you would need to be pretty strong in the other areas to make up for it and we show no signs of doing that either.
