I'm curious to know what some of the other players looked like that were available?

Two things, number one, I draft on ratings/potential not stats (and Willows was a 6.5a/9.0a when I drafted him which is very good). Drafting based on stats in this game will just get you burned in my experience. Secondly, individual scoring in the major junior leagues is off (low) in FHM. There certainly aren't any players putting up 100 points like in real life - a point per game is elite. Guys like McDavid are usually only putting up 80-90 points in a season.
FWIW The top 15 looked like this to me: (If GP isn't listed assume its basically the max number of games in the league)
1. Brant Kell, RD, 4.0a/9.0a, 16-29-45 (OHL)
2. Tanner Dewar, LD 5.0a/8.5a, 11-29-40 (WHL)
3. Brandon Willows, RW, 6.5a/9.0a, 32-19-51 (WHL)
4. Linus Nilsson, RD, 5.0a/8.5a, 52GP 2-12-14 (ALL)
5. Dominick Ward, LW, 4.0e/9.5e, 51GP 19-21-40 (MJHL)
6. Cedric Aubin, LW, 6.0a/8.0a, 33-15-48 (QMJHL)
7. Joel Murray, LW, 5.0a/8.0a, 9GP 4-6-10 (OHL)
8. Tomas Thomas, C, 4.5a/7.5a, 32-39-71 (WHL)
9. Anton Miansarov, C, 5.0e/8.0e, 27-40-67 (YHL)
10. Andrew Dehner, LW, 5.0a/7.5a, 33GP 5-9-14 (NCAA)
11. Jesse Swanwick, C, 3.5a/6.5a, 21-24-45 (WHL)
12. Jakub Mezera, LD, 4.0a/8.0a, 33GP 0-0-0 (ELH)
13. Tom Owen, C, 4.5a/4.5a, 57GP 39-46-85 (USHL)
14. Russell Lowen, RW, 4.5a/7.5a, 25-34-59 (WHL)
15. Josiah Isbister, C, 6.0a/7.5a, 29-46-75 (OHL)
