Not only did they get the most favourable draft lottery luck, they'll also benefit from a huge salary cap increase just in time for McDavid's extension and Bouchard's next contract.

They won't get 2 or 3. If they manage to get past Florida this year it's one and done. They were only 5 points clear of the cut off this year. They're the oldest team in the league, going to be older next year, and will be one of the oldest teams ever to win it all. They're on the wrong side of the curve, evident by their regular season decline, and could very well miss the playoffs next year.
This is why it's imperative Florida gets the job done.
