2006- Jamie McGinn, Michael Neuvirth, Andrea Nodl, Kulemin, Petry, Matthias, Anisimov, McBain are all NHL regulars 8/30 with 11 of the 30 playing over 100 games
2007- PK Subban, TJ Galliardi, Nick Spaling, Wayne Simmonds are everyday players and 5 total played more then 100 games. PK, and Simmonds are impact players
2008- Markstrom, Voynov, Josi, Schultz, Dalpe, Stepan, Hamonic, Scandella are all regulars 8/30 with Voynov, Josi, Markstrom and Schultz being impact players.
2009- O'Reilly, Clifford, Silvferberg, Lehner, Panik, Orlov, Tatar, Lander are all regulars, and Chaisson starting to play well for the Stars this year. That is 8/30 with O'Reilly, Silvferberg, and Lehnar being impact.
Sorry your assumption has just been proven incorrect.
2nd round is more a 25-30% success rate to get an everyday player of that about a 10% chance of getting an impact player. Hence, Flames severely undervalue there 2nd round picks and it has cost them at the draft.
