Great writeup Commandant. Gaudreau was definitely a no-brainer for the sleeper. Other than Gaudreau I'd probably have to give that spot to Ramage since all of the Flames brass is high on this kid. It's basically the consensus that he's more than ready for the pro game, but he's content on pursuing his educational goals. I just hope his heart is with the Flames and not elsewhere.

I was definitely looking at Ramage as the potential sleeper, but you are right, I just couldn't overlook Gaudreau. He's just a step above and had a great year on a great team at BC.
Ramage though is ready to make the jump to the AHL like you say. He might not bring huge offence, but the guy can play shutdown D in the NCAA and he's ready for the next challenge IMO. Sometimes kids don't wanrt to leave that environment though. I know Montreal has the same issue with Danny Kristo.
