The outlier is not winning the Cup without a top pick. The outlier is being one of those 10% of teams in the first place.

Top simple and narrow on the metrics. Not about one pick, it's about struggling on ice for a few years leading to multiple high picks and many first and second round picks while selling off due to said suckage.
The chances lf being a contender while not taking your medicine and suckg for a few years is so low.
