It doesn't answer the question completely but here you can find the distribution of current NHL'ers by draft round, and undrafted; https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/seasons/nhl-players-stats.ht ml
At the bottom there is a demographics section where you can click on draft rounds.
1st; 34.2%
2nd; 16.9%
3rd; 10.6%
undrafted; 15.6%
There will be some college FA's not included in the undrafted as guys like Fox and Schultz would have the draft round listed.
There would also be some undrafted guys who didn't go the college route in there.
I think it does show that keeping an eye on college or any other undrafted FA's is a solid strategy.

There's always going to be a contingent, especially in Edmonton where so many have been influenced for so long by such poor sportswriters, who'll scoff at the free agent route and talk about how everyone is always "the next Jiri Dopita", but the fact is that any good team is looking at every player acquisition avenue. I mean, Artemi Panarin is arguably a top-ten forward in the league and he was a free agent signing out of Europe.

Jiri Dopita would be an interesting case study in fan management. I remember the Oilers and their public relations team in media hyping him well beyond what he could reasonably expect to contribute. "Best player not in the NHL" and "the Mark Messier(?) of the Czech League" are high bars to clear. Predictably when he came over and was only ok in adjusting to the NHL the knives came out immediately.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
