We flip Brossoit for Smid so every player from that draft essentially will have suited up for us this year.

And even Brossoit, though it was just to be a body on the bench, has already been called up with the Oilers once this season, so now every one will have had a taste of the NHL in some form now. That's some pretty astronomical odds to go 5 for 5 in a draft.
EDIT: just looking back, probably our second best draft for efficiency, especially if Brossoit ends up playing a game at some point. We've had a few drafts with 6 players and 2 with 7 players going on to play games in the NHL, but in those years we still had quite of few misses.
Best one probably 1992, 7 out of 11 players drafted ended up playing NHL games, Stillman ended up with over 1000, and Svehla and Hoglund both ended up with over 500.
