The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve and you'll draw a card.

You can cycle this card even if there are no legal targets for the triggered ability.
