Their D and goaltending:
Hanifin - Pietrangelo
Martinez - Theodore
McNabb - Whitecloud
Hague
Hill
Thompson
That D is arguably (maybe inarguably) the best in the NHL. And the goaltending is rock solid and under-rated.
Say what you want about them, and they will miss Stone, but I think we are just looking at a Stanley Cup hangover right now. Come playoffs, they will be a very tough out. And I would not want to have to face them in the first round.
