Islanders are not bad and they have not had a top 10 pick in 6 years and will not have one this year.
Bruins seem fine and the highest they have drafted in the last 9 years is 13th.
It seems possible that a good GM can build a Stanley cup contender without high picks.

those are great examples, think of the position the Bruins would be in if they didnt drop the ball on their 3 straight number ones a few years back. They draft Connor and Chabot for example and they are loaded.
