Honestly, other than an expansion team, are there any successful teams right now that have traded their way there instead of using high draft picks from a few rebuilding years? Other than the Rangers who get gifted players like Panarin and Fox, and even then they drafted twice in the top 2

Well, TB had high draft picks. But they were from 08 and 09 and they won the cup in 2020. I doubt that 11 years is the plan for a rebuild to win a cup with draft picks.
Similarly, the Blues only had Pietrangelo as a high draft pick but he was a #4 from 2008 and they won in 2019.
