Even Vancouver is relying on Q Hughes and E Pettersen, both top 10 picks.
But yeah, it's pretty clear. You named 4 of the teams in the conference semi finals... Boston is the only one that doesn't fit the trend and they are a massive aberration by basically any measure.

Most of them are picking high, its pretty much how you get a superstar. The other thing they do is have picks and not give them away.
Dallas is luck and good drafting as well.
We don't even have the player we need to rebuild around on the roster today, or in our prospect pool.
