I think it is a fine draft but the 4-7 guys have become very highly rated here since we dropped out of bottom 3 positions.
I haven't seen the Hockey News but other reports I have read is similar to other years where the closer to the drafter the "better" that draft seems to get. Seems to also correspond to the time many sources are trying to get you to buy their reports on these guys, but that might just be a coincidence.

I suspect Galchenyuk would have fallen a bit as he pretty well missed the entire season last year with a knee injury. Obviously it looks like a good pick in retrospect.
