The league as a whole gets better with this effect.

In the NHL too, it's not a guarantee of anything. The last real "generational" talent was McDavid and Edmonton hasn't even made a final yet. Before that arguably was Crosby and Ovechkin -- Pittsburgh and Washington did see a lot of success in their careers including championships, but it's not like they were totally unstoppable teams and winning every single year. Washington in particular just won once and had a lot of adversity getting there.
