since they drafted those two they've made the playoffs 10 of 14 years. They made 4 trips to the finals, won two cups.
No one is suggesting you draft 1stOA and then go on to win a cup in two years, what we are saying is good teams, that are consistently in the championship picture have drafted well. A part of drafting well is picking consistently in the top 10 for a few years. Hell that's how the Flames were good for the bit that they were. Monahan and Tkachuk were a huge part of this teams success, but that era is over.

You said "multiple times". I guess two is a multiple, but it's not much of one. And now you are moving the bar to "top 10"?
TB drafted well, but mostly outside of the top 10. Mostly outside of the first round to be honest.
