Vanek spent a whole year in the AHL without a call up 2 years after being drafted 5th overall.

Not quite; he was drafted in 03 and spent the 03-04 season in the WCHA.
He spent the 04-05 season in the AHL. That's one year after he was drafted.
And you can't claim he was 7th in scoring just because Roy had 2 less points in 11 less games.
