It's not about who gets there first, it's about who gets there and sticks. Roman Horak finished junior was a good pro and played in the NHL. He isn't/wasn't a better 2011 draft pick then Gaudreau.
This is what's interesting about this whole poll process. Some posters are heavily valuing players based on how soon they'll be cracking the lineup. Others are valuing their skill sets and potential ceilings, which I think is the more sensible approach.

A potential 1st liner who is another 2 seasons away (Jankowski, maybe Bennett too) is a much more valuable prospect than potential bottom 6 forwards (Wolf, Arnold) or 3rd-pairing defencemen (Sieloff, Kanzig) who are closer to contributing. At least that's how I see it.
