They lost in Game 7 of the Conference Finals and Kucherov was not even property of the franchise (nor was any player you mentioned). That was with Stamkos and Herman. They made the Stanley Cup Finals without Point, Coleman, gourde and Cirelli. Did those players make them champions, sure. But they were long out of the wilderness before those players came along. Hitting on back to back high picks got them out of the wilderness.
