First who said anything about a team filled with high draft picks? That was not the argument made.
But what has been shown is that without one extreme example or going back 15 years you can't find a team that won without a top 5 pick they made on their team. That doesn't guarantee you win a Cup with one of those guys, something nobody has said or even suggested, but its hard to argue that without one of those a team is going to win the Cup.
Sure it is possible to be the exception but what is the chances of that? Is that the way a team should look to build by trying to become the exception?
