We have seen this story before. We can have the best winger and goalie in the league, a top 5 defense, and it probably still won't be enough.
Further, I reject that Wolf is blocking this possibility. The Ducks picked top 10 a bunch with Gibson.

The Oilers drafted McDavid. A player like that comes along once in a generation. It took the Oilers four #1 overall picks to get McDavid. The league has now changed the rules, so you can't draft that many first overall picks anymore.
If the strategy is suck until you draft a McDavid level talent, it's probably not going to work out for you. For every Oilers with a McDavid, there's a dozen teams, who had the same strategy, with no McDavid and no cup.
