About a decade ago, much like the current Toronto Maple Leafs, both of those teams lucked into some amazing high-end draft picks. The Hawks picked up Kane and Toews, and then had unheralded second-round pick Duncan Keith somehow become a Hall of Fame defenseman. They had an elite an defensive player (Marian Hossa) and an alright goalie. They then went on to win three Stanley Cups.
The Penguins picked up Crosby and Malkin, and then had unheralded third-round pick Kris Letang somehow become a Hall of Fame defenseman. They had an elite defensive player (Jordan Staal) and an alright goalie.
