Looking at forwards drafted since 2009, 10 other teams have 10 or fewer goals produced. 17 other teams have 20 or fewer goals produced. I don't think 7 goals from non-1st rounders is ideal but it's not way off the norm.
Thanks for some perspective. Edmonton's drafting has been bad but other teams haven't been much better. The issue is that our FA and trade acquisitions have also been horrendous for the most part.
