You need good players to win a cup, not a 3rd liner Seguin and a middle of the road 1D in Piertrangelo

There’s a big difference in the value a top-5 drafted player brings a team in their first 7-8 years under team control, namely cost effectiveness in relation to their production.
Any team can go sign a former top draft pick as an expensive UFA or deplete their asset pool to acquire one, but these are depreciated assets and far less valuable in a cap world.
