Vegas had Eichel and Stone. Marchessault turned it on like Bennett but he's not elite - he was outpointed by Chandler Stephenson that year. Great supporting cast.

You're forgetting a few guys.
Reinhart on Florida is definitely an elite 2 way player. You could even argue Marchand as well.
Landeskog was elite before he got hurt. Had 78 points in 51 games that year.
Alex Pietrangelo may not be elite depending on your definition, but he's what I would call an "A" lister.
So yes, 3-4 elite players looks like the magic number. That and a goalie who is at least above average.
