Dunno if that applies to Drouin and MacKinnon, who seem like they'd be able to adapt alongside other skilled players like anybody else.

I believe they expected to be separated. However, that draft was a sea of crap and everyone knew it. Trading into the top 5 of 1999 is a wholly different proposition than trying to trade into the top 5 of 2013.
