If it takes 5 years, you should be evaluating drafts where 5 years have elapsed.
2003-One NHLer. Phaneuf
2004-Three borderline NHLers. Boyd, Prust, Pardy
2005-Zero after 5 years.
2006-Next season will be 5 years for this draft. Do you think any players will be ready to step into the NHL next season? It sure doesn't look like it.

to clarify;
2004 - 3 NHLers
2005 - Matt Pelech, Brett Sutter (could break in next year). Gord Baldwin is another prospect who has a shot at NHL.
2006 - Leland Irving is a good prospect, goalies take allot longer to develop..
John Armstrong came close to making the team last year has had injury problems
