If you listen to Button in November-December, he says that Barkov could be first overall material. It was Drouin who rose and passed him in rankings.
The general talk was very much top-4 and then the rest, but at the same time Barkov was never ranked above the other three in 2013, as far as I recall.
However, that's just media speculation. Teams probably didn't buy MacKinnon losing first overall spot and Drouin rising the same way that the media did.
