Talk about hyperbole.
And the two teams on your list have both won cups during those years, so I am unsure as to your correlation.

I think what he's getting at is that the two teams that have made fewer 1st round picks are somewhat justified given they won Stanley Cups in the time frame and have been annual contenders. The Flames have been make the playoffs, miss the playoffs, make the playoffs, miss the playoffs. Not exactly the results you are looking for when you are trading your 1st round picks at a higher rate than every other team save for two teams that have won stanley cups 3 of the past 5 years. If you look at the Flames, Penguins, and Lighting it's pretty clear one of the three teams has been doing it wrong.
