9/10 teams league wide don't have that. Almost every current contender does. Canes are one example that comes to mind that don't. They have svechnikov that meets this but I'm not sure you could call him a "star right now.

Well, that's nice. The Oilers had to pick #1 overall four times in six years before they got that player – and they still didn't get a championship out of it. You aren't even allowed to do that since the draft rules were changed.
If you have star players that are in the right age range, it doesn't matter a rat's arse what pick you drafted them with.
