Goalies are really hard to rank. Historically goalies are more likely than position players to have an outstanding short run and then disappear. The worth of a top goalie usually shows itself after several years of starting. There were three good ones in that draft, and it's still impossible to say which will be the best, as none have yet put together one full great season as a starter.
Anyway, it's hard to re-rank in the abstract. Some teams (or pretend GMs) just won't take goalies early, others will always go for the potential franchise defencemen, while others still will take a homerun swing and go for the most talented player (like Semin).
It's a good draft at the top though. A lot of good players in the top 10-12.
