Any players picked off waivers that won the cup the same year?
Nicolas Aube-Kubel was so undeserving of winning the cup the cup knew and tried to make a bid for freedom

According to ChatGPT Stay at home D Sean O'Donnell was the only example, for the Ducks in 2007. So here's the answer for the OP.

LE: I checked, ChatGPT is full of shit, he was traded to the Ducks, so I don't know if there are any examples.

I don't know if this counts as recent (it probably doesn't), but Colin Fraser, two-time Stanley Cup champion, always comes to my mind in these conversations.
He scored the first goal in the 2012 SCF for the Kings, a 2-1 win vs New Jersey. In general he played a solid post season for the Kings. He earned it.

Alexander Volkov with the Lightning in 2020. Just barely met the requirements for the engraving, playing 9 minutes in 1 Finals game.

14 pts and -5 in 46 career NHL games.

Doing quite well in the KHL for himself, but he's definitely the biggest "nobody/who?" I could find.
