Breen's an undrafted 24 year old Dman, with 0 NHL GP, and his best offensive season in the OHL/AHL was .22 ppg.

Does he really deserve to be higher than any of the listed players, or are you letting a bias show because you've interacted with the Abbotsford players (with your job I believe?)?
Any bias I have is because I've seen him play a ton. It doesn't have anything to do with interactions.

I just feel like he's ready for the show. As a general rule, most defensemen don't even reach their prime until about 24, so he's right on schedule. The fact that he's undrafted means nothing. The fact that he has 0 NHL GP means nothing as well since Feaster himself has said he would've played in the NHL at the end of the season if it weren't for his injury. And offense means nothing when you talk about defensive defensemen.

I'm not telling people how to vote, I'm just commenting that he should've been off the board much sooner. In terms of NHL readiness, I'd have him fifth after Baertschi, Monahan, Horak and Knight, but before Cundari and Reinhart.
