It’s a tough proposition though. A lot of teams tank and don’t get 1OA though. Or they are 1OA in a weak draft. Look at Buffalo. Or you end up with a. Good player on a bad team. In the last 25 years 5 1OAs have won cups. Two were on the same team. Mackinnon is the last one, and he was drafted 9 years ago.
You can have 4 1OAs in 6 years and win nothing.
