Interesting point, and I mostly agree , in fact there is only one hall of famer (Shutt) on the whole list
on the other hand, other than the Isles (who are going to Isle)
you have the Aves, who drafted two 1000+ game players, they won a Cup in 2001 (admittedly they had also won a cup in 96 so they were a good team already) with Tanguay and Skoula as regulars, Regehr being a key trade chip for them
the 72-74 Habs, only one star (Shutt) but a reasonable amount of depth for their late 70s cup teams came from these drafts
the Bruins draft- they ended up with 2 stars, but those guys starred and won cups for Flyers
