It took longer but even with incompetence everywhere else it DID work . They are now a cup contender year in and year out

The odds of getting a #1 overall pick are low. Then the odds of hitting a McDavid level player with that pick are low.
Let's also keep in mind that it took Edmonton four first overall picks to hit McDavid. Even then, they've changed the draft rules, so you can't emulate that failure if you wanted to.
