Coffey was drafted what? 40 years ago??? How is that even relevant.
In 94 Jovanovski was drafted 1st overall, smyth was 6th.
In 91 Lindros was drafted 1st overall, Forsberg was 6th.
I would almost think both of those are even, hell maybe I'd say forsberg was the better player. But the nhl has changed in the last 10-15 years, so I'd say anything before 04 is or irrelevant anyways.
