Would it be tampering if it comes through a friend of a friend of an employee?

That's just not realistic. How are we supposed to fit both Markstrom and Hall? (must this be green?)

I can live with Markstrom being Brad’s big free agent acquisition.

IMO every cup winner in the cup era has met the following test: 2.5 of the above were 'elite'.

Since we're in a bit of a semantics thread, I think I've come up with a decent definition for the oft-argued term. 'Elite': good enough to be legitimately in the conversation to play for Team Canada (on their own merit - not Muzzin/Kunitz, and regardless of nationality).

Obviously there is a grey-area between 'definitely/definitely not TC quality', hence the half point above.


A few obvious caveats:
1. Having the above ingredients doesn't guarantee anything (see FLA). There are many, many other things needed.
2. Chicken/egg is certainly at play, but having the knowledge/certainty on every piece before the fact doesn't really matter.
3. Most cup winners also have elite winger(s), but not all. '09 Penguins. '12/ '14 Kings and '06 Hurricanes are debatable. I contend that this falls under the many, many other things that are needed.
