How many 1st overall picks? Now tell me how many Stanley Cups that has won them.

I said since 2004. It’s been almost 20 years since that Lecavalier-Iginla fight in the finals. We’ve since won as many series as the Coyotes, despite having stable ownership, arena, and the implementation of the cap.
How many 1OA picks did Las Vegas have? Colorado? Tampa Bay? Not more than 1/team if I remember correctly. Montreal had a great finals run with nothing and still set up their team pretty well. Conroy can do the same for us if we don’t give Hanifin a Hertl contract.
