Families completely outside of the first round with success

You're forgetting the rest of that family too. Their cousins Kelly (9th Rd, 183th OA, 1057 GP), Kevin (10th Rd, 202th OA, 620 GP) and Kip (4th Rd, 72th OA, 449 GP). Part of me wonders why they keep picking these guys late round...

Rumor has it they aren’t actually related, it’s just a ragtag group of individuals posing as a family for some comedic plot involving a drug deal in Mexico or something.

The Bures. Pavel Bure was drafted in the 6th round, 113th overall, by Vancouver Canucks in 1989.

His younger brother, Valeri Bure, was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2nd round, 33rd overall in 1992.
Fits the criteria but put an asterisk beside this one. Pavel would have gone in the first round had every team been clear in eligibility.

But, agreed, it technically fits.

Did either generation of Stastny have any first rounders? I don't believe so.

Nope that's a good one:

Peter- Undrafted
Anton- Round 12 1978/Round 4 1979
Marian- Undrafted

Yan- Round 8 2002
Paul- Round 2 2005

And maybe more yet to come if Peter's kids have children of their own who make the show (from later than the first round!).
