Or does being bad and getting high draft picks trump everything else? If so let's stop making fun of the Oilers.

Since the lockout, who has won the Cup who didn't have minimum of a 2nd overall pick they drafted in the lineup?
Detroit - but doesn't count due to early jump by drafting from Europe.
Anaheim? Maybe - Ryan was 2nd OV pick but I doubt was in lineup yet.
Regardless, Its not a guarantee you have to really suck first to ultimately win, but recent history suggests it sure helps.
