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 or Edmonton 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 had success because of their strong early picks, as well as finding late round gems.

Tanking is not the solution. And really it only worked for Chicago and Pittsburgh.

It’s only a good option if presented to you. Like Gaudreau walks via UFA sure let’s do it. He resigns it won’t happen

But this stat shows the rebuild get first overall and have a dynasty model is more a 2005 to 2011 thing. 2nd lockout made it more difficult to accomplish

Tampa wins the cup again and and your looking a 19 year old seguin who was a healthy scratch/4th liner in that playoffs as the only top 3 pick since 2010 to win a cup
