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.

Dallas is good because of finding gold in later picks (two of them that very year) much more than getting Heiskenan 3OA (they should have taken Makar). Robertson, Hinze, Oettinger, Johnston, etc. Benn was a 5th rounder.
