You can pretty much ignore everyone drafted outside of the first two rounds then.

They all turned out, but weren't drafted high enough for the drafting team to take any credit.

Loob, Fleury, Gaudreau, Suter ... all of them.

Anyone not drafted high with skill has warts, and that's still true today.
