You're confusing the "Generational" label with Franchise. There are 30 franchises. That should mean there's upwards potential of ~30 Franchise players, and probably more since some teams are going to have multiple franchise players at different key positions (Franchise Center + Franchise Dman + Carey Price)
In the past we had Kipprusoff and Iginla, they were our franchise players. The Kings have Doughty and Kopitar, the Hawks have Keith/Kane/Toews.
