A single cup from that group so far. Seguin won it as a rookie, only played half the playoff games.

Now that could very well change this year if Colorado, Edmonton, Carolina, or New York wins.

But really it's more about drafting well over a long period of time, no matter where you draft.

Early picks help with that, but teams like Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh, Tampa had success because of their strong early picks, but really it was finding late round gems to add to the core that won them the cups.
