Thread: It appears to be rare for top picks to win the Stanley Cup. The most recent first overall pick to win a Stanley Cup was Patrick Kane, who was drafted in 2007. That seems odd, right? 1/7

#StanleyCupFinal

If the #GoBolts win this year, Stamkos will supplant Kane as the most recent first overall cup winner. 2/7

The most recent 2nd overall pick? That would be Tyler Seguin, drafted in 2010. 3/7

The most recent 3rd overall pick? Believe it or not, it's Jonathan Toews, drafted in 2006. If Dallas wins this year, Heiskanen, drafted in 2017, would supplant him. 4/7

Surely a fourth overall pick has won recently, right? Nope. The most recent is Alex Pietrangelo, drafted in 2008. 5/7

Last one for this thread. Any guesses for the most recent 5th overall pick? It's another Blue, Brayden Schenn, drafted in 2009. 6/7

To sum it all up, no top five pick from the last ten years has won a cup. I have no idea if that means anything, except that maybe Lafreniere is hoping he drops a bit... 7/7
