I can't stand this. Detroit is still living off their Dats and Zetterberg picks.
The last guy who has made an impact in the NHL drafted outside the 4th round by Detroit was Darren Helm in 2005. Aside from him, it's only Mrazek in 10' since 05 to do anything.
In that same span, Ottawa has drafted Greening, Condra, Hoffman, Boro, Stone.
That's not counting guys like Claesson, who will certainly be playing NHL games in the near future.

We seem to get a ton of depth guys; not sure how much of this is drafting success and how much is development, but it's nice to see us churn out NHL players.
Nyquist really stands out though, maybe if we're lucky in a year or two so will Stone and Hoffman.
Also, if you go a bit further, they have Quincey, Filpulla, and Ericsson which were all pretty good later picks.
