M.Carle, Lapierre, and Colin McDonald were also chosen....
You can add Carle and Lapierre as solid NHLers....that makes it 5/15....or 30%

What are the chances that a top 15 pick in the 1st round (or 1st rounder in general) that doesn't make the NHL full time by the age of 23 going on the have a long and productive career?

I'll guess that it's not that much different than the chances of a 2nd round pick.
