Don’t disagree that you need the later picks too but the Lightning were able to avoid a long period in the wilderness because they hit on a number one pick and a number two pick.

Their avoidance of the wilderness was because they got Kucherov, Vasilevsky and Point. Hedman and Stamkos didn’t do it for them. Also Killorn, Gourde, Cirelli, Palat, and trading for Coleman.
