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.

But even with this amazing Bruins organization, the only time they won the cup was the year they had Seguin who was pick #2. And since trading him, they haven't won another cup.
Even in the most extreme case, the team only won a cup with a top 2 pick.
