Are you counting Voracek as a top 10 pick? If you consider Iginla > Vorachek and Baertschi as = #8 pick, that's rather close. But of course it doesn't always work out that way. Vorachek is no Iginla but he's young and years from UFA. Baertschi has potential and years closer to being NHL ready. Really depends on what a GM is looking for.
