2-4 players from the 2nd round usually become top players. Another 5-7 become NHL regulars(400+ NHL GP). So the chance of getting a regular NHLer is probably around 25-33%.

So if you are drafing above average, it's reasonable to assume that in the 2nd round you would get a player with 400+ games once every 4 years? Seems like the Flames could still be above average of late.
Every great drafting team goes a few years where they dont do well in the draft. Seems like 2021 and 2022 were our years. But 2022 we were short picks and Ronni has had off ice issues.
