Zach Hyman was drafted by FLA in the 5th round. So I wouldn't say they are nothing.
Taking a look at our last 12 5th round picks (ignoring the last two years).
2006 - none
2007 - Juraj Mikus
2008 - Joel Champagne, Jerome Flaake
2009 - Eric Knodel
2010 - Sam Carrick (39 nhl games), Daniel Brodin
2011 - Tony Cameranesi
2012 - Dominic Toninato (serviceable 13th forward)
2013 - Fabrice Herzog
2014 - Dakota Joshua
2015 - Dmytro Timashov (good spare forward)
2016 - Vladimir Bobylev
2017 - Fedor Gordeev
2018 - Filip Kral
Overall, the chances of hitting something with a 5th is extremely low, and most of the time when we hit with a 5th, it is nothing more than a 13th forward.
Only 3 out of 14 logged nhl games. None have logged more than 90 games....
So 5th round picks are close to nothing.
