The thing I'm trying to differentiate is there is a massive gap between can things happen and the likelihood of them happening.
Teams in the current NHL who have not picked in the top 4 - Vegas

Teams that have picked in the top 4 - the other 31 teams.

The likelihood that a team will pick in the top 4 over any stretch of time (10-15 years) is almost a certainty. The likelihood that that top 4 pick will be the key contributer to a Stanley Cup championship, much much lower.
