It was 6 spots. Ratings are just approximation, every team has their own which are only influence by general consensus.

I recall the same media reports saying that Montreal was expected to pick Poirier.
Burke stated publicly that Anaheim scouts told him Calgary won the draft with Poirier, Monahan and Klimchuk. Anaheim picked four spots after Calgary picked Poirier and two spots before Calgary picked Klimchuk. Hard to imagine that Poirier would have made it past Anaheim, let alone Montreal, based on this.
