Someone else mentioned Larsson who was picked earlier so.
Any player could have been taken anywhere. I'm confident Zibenajad is the best Swedish prospect in this draft and it was a steal to get him as the 6th team to pick. You'll get my point in the future when we look back to this draft.Larsson could've been picked 1st or 2nd, best D-man available by far.
Zibanejad could not possibly have been taken higher than 6th. The comparison, therefore, doesn't stand.
I also think Ottawa should've picked Couturier instead.
Zibanejad will be great, no doubt about it. But I just don't see him as a top-5 talent in this draft.
Detroit getting Tvrdon in the fourth round.. If not injured, he was well on his way to being selected mid first to early second round. To get a legit power forward in the fourth round is a steal.

Marchenko in the 7th round for Detroit, steal of the draft
