Dal Colle still hasn't played in an NHL game (I struggle to think of another top 5 pick that didn't at least make the NHL 3 years into his career) and has 3 goals in 26 AHL games this season. That one looks like an epic bust.

It's Calgary boy Thomas Hickey - drafted 4th overall 2007, first NHL game January 27, 2013 almost 6 years after being drafted. One full WHL season, another almost full WHL season (7 AHL games), and then 3 1/2 AHL seasons (one cut short by injury) before making the NHL. Still has the 29th most games played of any 2007 draft pick.
