Yup.
With equal distribution you'd expect to have 3 players in the top 96, so having 5 in the top 108 actually is pretty good overall.
And we haven't drafted top 10 in the last 5 drafts...so probably shouldn't expect to have any of the top 20-30 just based on that alone.
Also Pronman tends to have his own bias and if he's not a fan of a guy from their draft year it can be hard for them to climb up the charts. Honestly I'm not sure there is a way to justify Ruzicka being higher than Pelletier, when Pelletier has been an immediate play driver in the AHL at 20. Where it took Ruzicka some time to become a strong AHLer.
