That's the point. Hindsight is great, but you don't have any hindsight on draft day. No pick in this draft has equivalent value to an Orr or a Karlsson, because the odds are against any player in the whole draft having a career like that. If a GM thinks he has a sure thing and bets accordingly, he is a sucker.

And you got the year wrong, although the correct ones weren't all-stars, either:
7 Colin Wilson
8 Mikkel Boedker
9 Josh Bailey
10 Cody Hodgson

You said 2005, and that's the draft I quoted.
Schenn was drafted in 2008. So we both got the year wrong.
