Furthermore, Gillies should be going nowhere near the 10-spot. Closer to 20, I think. He's probably 4th on my goalie prospects depth chart.

He has progressed beautifully as a 4th rounder though. It's pretty impressive to jump straight from High School hockey to the NCAA and put up 20 points in 34 games on a team without a lot of firepower.
Given the fact that he's a full 3 years younger than Gawdin there is much more development runway left. Add in the fact that he is now getting noticed by USA hockey and I think he's a much for valuable prospect than most of the guys you listed.
I don't know enough about these Swedish leagues that Svenningson is playing in, but Gawdin is already 22 years old, Z is undersized and has yet to put up a PPG season despite playing with Lafreniere, Zagidulin is a complete wildcard because he is a goalie, and Lerby is 22 with no NA experience.
I don't think Koumontsziz is getting enough votes personally.
