You have to be careful about criticism in a vacuum--in other words, do other teams really do much better?
I picked a team at random (got St. Louis) and looked at their 4th and later round picks and later during the same period. Here's the ones with NHL games:
Jani Hakanpaa (4th round 2010): 117 games
Petteri Lindbohm (6th round 2012): 42 games
Ville Husso (4th round 2014): 41 games
Austin Poganski (4th round 2014): 22 games
Sammy Blais (6th round 2014): 133 games
Glenn Gawdin (4th round 2015): 9 games
Niko Mikkola (5th round 2015): 79 games
Alexei Toropchenko (4th round 2017): 9 games
Joel Hofer (4th round 2018): 2 games
Lots of fringe players, but hardly anyone even on the level of Bear or Jones (Blais is the only one I've heard of). I think the perception of Oiler late round draft futility is a bit overblown. I have a feeling they're not that much worse than most teams and converting them to NHLers.
