Each of these players has a wide spectrum of potential... Rather than pigeon-hole them into a specific role I would break each of them down into a few possible projections, with vaguely realistic odds on each. For example, I'd love to see a blogger/scout/expert/CP-poster (that has actually watched these prospects) do a breakdown of our prospects somewhat like this:
Prospect:John Gaudreau
Ceiling potential: All-star Winger — 20%
Likely projection: Top 6 scoring Winger — 60%
Basement projection: Minor league journeyman — 15%
Glass-empty projection: Complete bust (due to injury, lifestyle etc) — 5%
