Ruzicka, Pospisil, and Wolf aren't at that mark yet but they will be soon.
That is an exceptional job of drafting, especially when many of the picks have been out of the first round and the mid to late first round. If Pelletier doesn't play he will be the first "bust" type player in the first round since Erixon in 2009.

When you lookk at that 2019 draft where Pelletier was taken, it's really hit and miss. A lot more missed actually. Only a couple of the next dozen or so players taken after him have solidiified themseleves as NHL players at this point.
It's the life of many late first rounders.
