But happily disregard me. ####, I’d throw Chicago on the list of teams who won with elite wingers and D and had a really good centre and good centre depth. Which I know is far from popular.

Ovechkin played a huge role in Backstrom's success, but a part of Ovi's success was thanks to Backstrom as well.
The same way both Monahan and Gaudreau benefited from playing with one another.
I also think that Towes was an elite defensive center similar to Barkov, but that's my opinion.
