draft 2009-2011

[comeclarity09]

I know its been a common thing on these boards to knock the top talent of this years draft but I am curious to see everyone's opinions of how this drafts top 5 talents compare to the previous 2 years drafts. If you had a draft with the top 5 overall picks of the 2009, 2010 and the expected top 5 of the 2011, how would you ranked them 1-15? And I mean rank them by how they were viewed at the time they were drafted, not based on the nhl pts that duchene or tavares has produced.

I'd be very very shocked if Huberdeau goes 5th.

I'd be very very shocked if Huberdeau goes 5th.

Personal preference, I was gunna write "whoever goes 5th" but it looked awful so I just put Huberdeau.

Shocked makes sense a little bit, very very shocked is pushing it.
