Pastrnak 25th overall, Marchand 71st overall, McAvoy 14th overall, Swayman 111th overall and going back further they had guys like Bergeron 45th overall and Krejci 63rd overall lead their team for a decade.

Why are teams like this extremely rare though? Because the statistical probability you will draft all these players where they did is likely under 1%. Someone wins the lottery each week, it doesn't mean it's a good retirement strategy.
The thing I'm trying to differentiate is there is a massive gap between can things happen and the likelihood of them happening.
