If Vancouver wins game 7 over Boston now it’s Sedin/Kesler, but they’re not mentioned.
If Bergeron/Krejci never win that one year, are they considered great regular season but not elite enough?
Ovechkin/Backstrom and lack of success before they finally got their cup.

Id say Sedin and Kesler were pretty elite at that time. Sedin was a 90-100pts player and Kesler was one of the best 2-way forwards in the game.
Bergeron is easily one of the best all around centres regardless if he wins a Cup.
Ovechkin/Backstrom are both elite players regardless if they won as well.
St Louis really is the only example in the last 20-30 years of a team winning with arguably no superstars.
