Team like St. Louis and Boston didn't very many high picks if any.

They had Johnson at #1 in 2006, and Pietrangelo at #4 in 2008.

Boston had Kessel at #5 in 2006, Hamill at #8 in 2007, and Seguin (via trade) at #2 in 2010.

Both are top teams today and could actually meet in this years Stanley Cup Final.

Calgary had Monahan at #6 in 2013, likely Dal Colle at #5 in 2014. The key is making hay with your late first rounders and subsequent rounds. If Monahan and a hypothetical Dal Colle turn out, and either one of Porier/Klimchuk/Gaudreau turn out we could be on our way to becoming the next Boston/St. Louis.
