Interestingly, Minnesota is another team that has never really picked at the very top of drafts.

The only teams that haven't picked 1st overall are Nashville, Calgary, Minnesota, San Jose, Seattle, Vegas, Carolina, Anaheim, and Vancouver. All western teams except Carolina. Of these teams, only Calgary, Anaheim, Carolina and Vegas have won cups.

Even though Carolina did not draft 1st overall, they still got a 1st overall player as Staal was top rated player in his draft but the Pens took Fleury...they won a cup.
