And until he does, it still goes into the the "first round pick not playing in the NHL" column..

no, that is simply too simplistic. there are too many factors you did not include, such as organizational development.
This goes into the "what did we get in return for the 2009 1st round draft pick" and the answer is, 2 2nd round picks in 2011 and Horak.
