Anyone want to compare that to the Flames?
Flag on the play, you said 1992 on. As we all know Martin Rucinsky and Tyler Wright were both drafted in 1991. So your list drops by two players.
Since you are adding fringe NHL'ers and guys who are still considered prospects I will do the same. I will also include players who played just this last season as well.

1992 -
Cory Stillman
Joel Bouchard
Jonas Hoglund
Jamie Allison
German Titov
Chris Dingman
Chris Clark
Nils Ekman
Denis Gauthier
Clarke Wilm
Derek Morris
Steve Begin
Tony Lydman
Ronald Petrovicky
Rico Fata
Blair Betts
Dany Sabourin
Oleg Saprykin
Craig Anderson
Jarret Stoll
Chuck Kobasew
Matthew Lombardi

Then since you added prospects like Rita and Deslauriers I will do the same
Eric Nystrom, Dion Phaneuf, Tim Ramholt

So what did I discover? Besides a few good players scattered about both lists don't inspire much inpsiration. And if the only bragging right you have is that the Oilers have drafted better then the Flames in the 90's... well, that is lame. Everyone here will admit freely how bad our drafting was, and how mess up's at the draft table was a big reason we couldn't turn it around.
