Tampa fits what I'm saying to a damn letter.
They drafted their foundational pieces at the top of the draft, and then went on to be excellent at drafting and trades. You think they win those cups without Hedman? I don't, but speculation aside - they had both Stamkos and Hedman.
You need to do both, draft at the top and draft/develop/trade excellently. If you do one without the other, you don't win.

I do, actually.
If they had O’Reilly and Josi instead of Stamkos and Hedman I think they still probably win those cups.
