Yes he was...... Patrick Kane was the concensus #1 that year. Turris was always considered to be a high pick , but he was a player with one year of college experience and 2 years of BCHL experience. No one was expecting him to jump into the NHL immediately and be a difference maker.
Weren't the discussions at the time that Gretzky jumped the gun on Turris? I can't remember, but I thought they were.
