yes there were.
TSN's final ranking had him 41st
TSN's mock draft had him go 29th
Button had him ranked 14th
Central Scouting had him 43rd among NA skaters
The kids ratings were all over the map due to him being a late bloomer that finally started to grow.
Also in regards to Weisbrod just trying to make the pick look good, at the STH meetings it was said they wanted to draft a player in the first round that they thought would be the best player in the draft and said he wold be a project.
Also note they had his name on the jersey, teams don't do that unless they are sure they will get that player.
