- 10 of the 17 teams that won the Stanley Cup had more than one home grown top 4 picks on their team
- 9 of the 17 teams that won the Stanley Cup had more than one home grown top 3 picks on their team
- 0 teams have won the Stanley Cup without at least a #3 draft pick on their team
- Only 2 teams have won the Stanley Cup without a home grown player selected in the top 4.
I don't care about how you get there but the reality is you pretty much need to draft in the top-3 to win a Stanley Cup.

Now compare the percentage of teams that won the Stanley Cup with a homegrown top-3 pick to the percentage of teams that have a homegrown top-3 pick.
Basically, you're saying that the fraction is really close to 1 because the numerator is big, and not even looking at the denominator. You just flunked elementary school math.
