Gustafsson and Kubalik were at least drafted though. Carl Hagelin found his way to the NHL years after being drafted.
Zuccarello would be the outlier here for sure. Although he'd be two years younger and more accomplished in the SHL before coming over. Although the level of play there might be better now with the KHL being a bit of a Wild Card right now with imports.
