Florida won the cup with a broken Ekblad, OEL, Dimitri Kulikov, and "Miikolaaa" backing up the duo of Forsling and Brandon Montour. Vegas used McNabb, Hague, Martinez, and Whitecloud after Pietrangelo and Theodore. So it's not like a real contender has guys like Devin Toews on the second pair which can be the narrative at times.

The thing with fla and Vegas is size on d. Not big names some failed projects yes. But big. Flames seem to have that right!
Also some of those players would never sign in cgy in current circumstances
