We know some teams didn't have Yakupov #1. TOR had Rielly #1. CGY had Galchenyuk. I would speculate based on the offer CLB turned down for their pick that they likely had Murray #1.

There was less consensus at the top if that draft than most. Partially because two of the best prospects (Galchenyuk and Rielly) missed almost their whole draft year due to injury.
