More common than you think actually, there are quite a few every year signed after 4years at college and not being drafted, and a decent percentage end up playing in the NHL, here are some notable ones who played 4 years at college:
Dan Boyle, Martin St. Louis, Brian Rafalski, Dwayne Roloson, John Madden, Jeff Halpern, Jason Blake, Matt Gilroy, Steven Reinprecht, Andy Greene, Brett Lebda, Rene Bourque, Stephen Gionta, Mathieu Darche, Mark Cullen, Mike Weaver, Joel Ward, Wade Dubielewicz, Keith Aucoin, Ty Conklin, (technically... 4 years at college, only played in 3 of them due to transfer rules), Ben Holmstrom, Harry Z, Jason Krog, Thomas Pock, Tom Preissing, Tim Stapleton, Aaron Volpatti...
Pretty decent list really.
Adam Oates played 3 and was undrafted as well.
The Flyers especially sign maybe 1 a year.
