Everyone's favourite TSN Maple Leaf fan columnist Travis Yost with a comparison of the team's behind the two first overall picks:
https://www.tsn.ca/connor-mcdavid-auston-matthews-and-the-va lue-of-a-supporting-cast-1.1423081
Other than the ridiculous part at the start where he suggests McDavid & Matthews are almost mirror images of each other as a player along with Jack Eichel, the article makes some pretty good points about the flaws in team-building that the Oilers have made - and I have to concede, the Leafs have done a MUCH better job there. The table he uses really shows the difference that depth makes.

Drafting and developing. We sucked at it for a long time. The best tanks have some D drafted before that are ready to take a big step in sync with the tank for highly picked forwards. The leafs had Rielly and now a consistent flow of solid guys picked and developed through their system now to compliment their tank awards.
At least they still suck though and will never actually win anything. They are the Leafs after all.
