. I really hate this notion. You win cups with Crosby/Malkin, Toews/Kane/Hossa, Datsyuk/Zetterburg/Lidstrom, or a hot goalie like Quick or Thomas and with Chara or Doughty at peak form in front of them. It might be nice to have a good shut down line, but it would be there to complement the great players who are what you really need to win a cup. Selling the farm for a complementary piece is dumb.
