Actually, the argument isn't flawed.

There have been multiple threads on CP about this, detailing the exact math involved. Having a top-3 pick does not significantly improve your odds of winning the Stanley Cup. Roughly 90% of Cup winners are drawn from the 90% of teams that have one, and 10% of winners are drawn from the 10% of teams that don't have one.
