For context, I'd probably redraft the top-15 from 2007 like this:
1. Patrick Kane
2. Jamie Benn
3. PK Subban
4. Logan Couture
5. Jakub Voracek
6. Ryan McDonagh
7. Max Pacioretty
8. Mikael Backlund
9. Wayne Simmonds
10. James van Riemsdyk
11. David Perron
12. Kevin Shattenkirk
13. Jake Muzzin
14. Kyle Turris
15. Evgenii Dadonov
HMs -- Alec Martinez, Lars Eller, Sam Gagner, Nick Bonino, Karl Alzner, Paul Byron

It's a little strange, perhaps, but I think the author is listing players that *were* selected ahead of Backlund who still deserve to be. Benn and Subban were picked after Backlund I believe.
