The 2005 draft was Sidney Crosby and Carey Price. Clearly, if the 2005 draft were redone, Price would be higher than fifth. By the way, the website <i>The Hockey Writers</i> has redone the entire first round, of the 2005 draft, based on the players' careers, not the last year. Here's the result: 1. Pittsburgh: Sidney Crosby (original selection: Sidney Crosby) 2. Anaheim: Jonathan Quick (original selection: Bobby Ryan) 3. Carolina: Carey Price (original selection: Jack Johnson) 4. Minnesota: Anze Kopitar (original selection: Benoit Pouliot) 5. Montreal: James Neal (original selection: Carey Price) 6. Columbus: Keith Yandle (original selection: Gilbert Brule) 7. Chicago: Kristopher Letang (original selection: Jack Skille) 8. San Jose: Bobby Ryan (original selection: Devin Setoguchi) 9. Ottawa: Paul Stastny (original selection: Brian Lee) 10. Vancouver: TJ Oshie (original selection: Luc Bourdon) Thoughts? <a href='https://thehockeywriters.com/redoing-the-2005-nhl-draft/' class='link_marker' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Draft 2005 picks 11-30</a>
