So why not enjoy the things that are good that actually happen, instead of worrying about missing something that probably won't.

I get the argument, but there is just one franchise in the NHL that has never even had a top 3 pick, let alone a 1st overall. It's understandable that people want to go to the well for once, even if it doesn't bring a cup. It's not like we've had much success without a top pick, either.
