And if you want to be happy, just look at the 2011, 2015 and 2016 drafts.
Button seems to be slowly improving.
For the 2011 draft, 4/5 are NHLers and all 5 have played. For the 2015 draft, 3/5 are NHLers so far. And for the 2016 draft, Tkachuk is great. Dube looks promising. Fox was used as a valuable piece in a trade. Most of the other picks are still pretty decent prospects.
