Adjust that list to account for where the team finished in the standings, and which picks they held, on average over that time period, and I bet that list looks completely different. Basing it on # of nhlers, in and of itself, doesn't say much with the context of how well the team was playing in that time. You'd expect a perennially bad team with lots of high picks to have a much better success rate than one that is consistently a playoff team.
