Nothing ground breaking, but it hasn't been that bad. You win some you lose some. Canucks managed to draft some decent players low in the draft then end up drafting Patrick White with their first.
Probably the only team that I can think of off the top of my head that consistently find solid players in the low rounds is Toronto, with Gunnarson, Stralman, Kulemin being some recent picks.

I don't want to include guys who are still prospects in this thread. The players you mentioned (with the exception of Pardy - who is barely an NHLer, having lost his job to Steve Staios) are not really worth anything until they actually make an impact at the NHL level. Erixon was a first rounder, you should be Drafting at least NHLers with your 1st round picks, so I don't think he counts as a steal. Negrin might one day, but he's still projecting to be a 3-6th Defenseman...
