That is the clear top 5.

I don't believe the top 5 is ever clear. We're basing this off of rankings...
Year - Player - Final CSS Rank - Actual Draft Spot
2011 - Hamilton - 4th - 9th
2011 - Beaulieu - 5th - 17th
2010 - Gudbranson - 4th - 3rd
2010 - Fowler - 5th - 12th
2009 - Schenn - 4th - 5th
2009 - Schroeder - 5th - 22nd
2008 - Myers - 4th - 12th
2008 - Schenn - 5th - 5th
2007 - Ellerby - 4th - 10th
2007 - Alzner - 5th - 5th
It wouldn't surprise me if one of the 4th/5th ranked Draisaitl/DalColle drops. Who's going to rise into their place?
