You can't win just with all the first rounders. I look at the Flames at this roster: Jackman, Begin, Hudler, Widerman, Tanguay, Cammy, Sarich...they all possess different characters and personalities, skills, experience to show what it takes to be successful NHLers.
I look at the Oilers...Ryan Smyth... and the kids play too fancy at this point of the season. Very obviously, they still haven't got it.
Pitt beat the Wings in 2008 could have gone the other way, same for Chicago over Philly. But the sucking of suckness cannot guarantee anything.
