Considering all of the forward lines and the goaltending, I don't think the conversation would be if they have the chops to get the cup, but when they do it and how many they can get.
The forward lines have tons of budget Star, First Liners, and Second Liners. The fourth line also looks really strong.
Goaltending is very very budget in that Bishop, I'd imagine, won't post less than a .915 for the rest of his starter career.
And Seth Jones at 5.4M is clearly one of the best D contracts in the league. I'd imagine Nurse could do really well along side him. I'm not very well-educated on the second D pairing guys, but while Chara and Hainsey on the bottom pairing is slow, they are also incredibly good at shutting down zone entries and danger passes.
