Stamkos is the 5th first-overall pick from the '00s to win the Cup with the team that drafted him.

Only 5 players chosen first overall between 1970 and 1999 won the Cup with the team that drafted them (Lafleur, Potvin, Lemieux, Modano, Lecavallier*).

So far, no players drafted first overall in the 2010s has won the Cup with the team that drafted him. If I were a betting man, MacKinnon is the only one I'd put any money on to do it.
