That said... something doesn't feel right about how this turned out. I think there must be too much luck or variance even with the fairly large sample size. I say this because cup winners LA and Chicago are right down at the bottom and horrid teams like Buffalo and Edmonton are right at the top.

I think luck plays a bigger part in drafting than most people care to admit.
One thing to keep in mind about Chicago is that they have had loads and loads of picks over the years. They had 17 selections in 2004. In 2010 they had 4 second rounders and they all busted.
It's easy to overlook stuff like that when the NHL team is stacked with talent though.
