By this math, they've succeeded in 50% of their top 10s being stars/elite (Monahan and Tkachuk), failed one in Bennett (though the fact he immediately succeeded in Fla says they didn't ruin him as claimed about, say Baertschi) and one is unknown.
Compare to any random team.
Say, Carolina: 6 top 10s. Skinner was close to elite, so is Svechnikov; Lindholm/Hanifin are NHlers but nothing to write home about. Haydn Fleury busted.
Detroit: 7 top 10s. Rasmussen/Zadina/Edvinsson are NHLers, but thats about all you can say. Seider/Raymond are star quality. The otehr two are not judgeable yet.
LA: 5 top tens, one of whom is elite, one is a good NHLer (who became so on another team, like Bennett), two are disappointing and one is a bust.
I don't think Calgary has any big differences in how many picks develop "properly".
