Ryan Miller and Backstrom being an elite goalie to build around and Vlasilevsky not being one is wild.

Hedman, Stamkos, Barkov and Ekblad say Hi
Neither TB or Florida "Built Around" an elite goalie. They acquired their elite goalies who they got after they drafted their core players top 2
That doesn't mean they were not instrumental in the wins. But neither Stanley Cup winning goalie was there when they were drafted top 2 and getting core players of their championships
