I think using 20+ years of data is a lot more useful than a small sample size, regardless of who is in charge of drafting and scouting. It is a pretty fair representation of what kind of players are drafted in that range.

I think you shouldn't yet evaluate anybody drafted in the previous 5 years. That's only natural as there is development time involved. So anyone from the 2012, 2013, 2014, or 2015 drafts should not be included as their NHL success is TBD.
I also think you would have to contrast "that range" with "this range". Rico Fata, Brent Krahn, Daniel Tkaczuk, Oleg Saprykin, Eric Nystrom. How is "this range" not a crap shoot with the same logic?
