I think you need two high end players that can elevate the others around them, one of which has to be a centre. You need a stud D man and at least one other high end D man with solid D throughout the lineup. I totally disagree with the OP saying you need strong goaltending, while that helps you can win the Cup with average to even below average goaltending. See Osgood, Niemi.
