Maybe you meant to, but you didn't, that's all I am saying.
Seguin was first overall and Hamilton was 9th overall.
Also, by doing this, it is taking out the idea of where the team finished. I.e. St. Louis hits on Schwartz and Tarasenko in 2010 at 14 & 16, but that was where their picks landed, so it seems somewhat arbitrary to draw the line at 10, but then not actually draw the line at 10...
Finally, I think we all agree hitting on later round picks is key, which is why picks like Ferland, Gaudreau and Kulak are hugely positive, while picks like Mason McDonald, Hunter Smith and Brandon Hickey are hugely negative.
