What are some examples people consider to be most succesful single draft years for a team?

Preferably in the sense of getting the most value out of --as many as possible of-- their own picks, not just picking one superstar player - even if those might be more useful than 7 good picks from another team in the same year.

Calgary's is either 1981 (MacInnis and Vernon), or more likely 84 (Roberts, Ranheim, Hull, Hrdina, Suter).

I went looking for the worst draft in the cap era. My criteria heading into this is a team that had no one from a drafted year ever play in the NHL. Also, they needed to have a first-round pick. I also ignored any draft in the past 4-5 seasons, because it's still too early.

In 2006, with 8 draft picks, the Calgary Flames managed to only get Leland Irving who played 13 NHL games.

In the same year, the Lightning had 4 picks, and managed to draft two players to combine for 7 games.

Interesting about 2006 was the Lightning and Flames both used their first-round pick on a goalie. The other two goalie picks in the first-round? Bernier and Varlamov.

The 2008 Montreal Canadiens are the only team I found with no picks that made the NHL, but their highest was the 56th overall pick.

Honestly a good chunk of Calgary 's drafts in the 90s would qualify
