The NHL has seen two back-to-back Stanley Cup winners in recent years, and the Vegas Golden Knights have a strong chance to join that club.
While Vegas aren't the current betting favourite to win next year, this team has everything it needs to clinch another title.
That's largely because the group that the Golden Knights bring to the first game of the 2023-24 season will be very similar to the one that just produced a 16-6 run through the playoffs with a +31 goal differential.
Vegas has its top seven defensemen under contract through next season, and its only significant forward hitting free agency is Ivan Barbashev.
