Washington had Backstrom. When they won the cup he had just rattled of his fifth of six straight 70+ point seasons (and he had two straight point-per-game seasons that were cut short just prior to that, a 65 point season, and prior to that two seasons of 88 and 101 points)
Backstrom doesn't get the publicity, but he was definitely elite.
(plus, the year they won, Kuznetsov had an 80+ point season. Only one of those guys was playing with Ovechkin, and it wasn't Backstrom).
