In 2016 they drafted Howden, Hajek, Katchouk, Raddysh and Colton in the first 4 rounds. All have made it to the NHL, 3rd round pick Ingram might see time in Nashville this year. 2017 Foote and Volkov have made the NHL, 3rd round pick is a bust. Not sure why we are expecting 2nd or 3rd round picks from just a few seasons ago, especially when the last two have been cut short, to be in the NHL already? 2019 1st Foote did make the NHL if you were wondering.
Not sure how that's a disappointing draft record? I think it's a damn good one and not sure you'll find another team that put 7 guys in the league from the 16 and 17 draft. Sure the players aren't world beaters but they still became NHLers which isn't easy outside the 1st round.
