my point was moreso in general that the draft is impossible to judge that same day

Here are the groupings of 6th and 9th picks from 2004-2010

neither group leaps above the other

Couture and OEL are the only current elite players

6th overall
Montoya
Brule
Brassard
Gagner
Filatov
OEL
Connolly

9th overall
Smid
Brian Lee
Sheppard
Couture
Bailey
Cowan
Granlund
