I like the idea of teams like Dallas, NY or Vancouver (shudder) doing well, for the sole reason that the makeup of their teams aren't luck or lottery based.
It feels hopeless when a team like Colorado is so consistently near the top of the contenders list. All you need is a MacKinnon and a Makar and you're a Stanley Cup contender!.
Dallas is a fantastic team, but they're forward group doesn't really have a truly elite forward. Maybe Robertson, but I'm not sold on him.
They have 1 elite defenseman and an elite goalie. That seems attainable.
NYR, same thing. Panarin and Fox are fantastic hockey player, but the makeup of their group seems attainable as well.
Gives me some hope as a hopeless flames fan.
Also makes me sad about the collosal failure of 2022. That group had potential to at least take Colorado to 6 or 7 games.
