It was a toss up between Knight and Kulak for me. I went with Knight though.
Yes, I'm a little biased because I saw a whole year of Corban. He had one of the best rookie AHL seasons of any Flames prospect in the last 10 years. He's not a bottom 6 player, but can play bottom 6. He's just got too much skill not to be a top two line center or transition him to the wing. His on-ice vision is one of the best in the organization and has the ability to snipe it. He took huge steps in his defensive game as the season progressed. As a bonus, he's got outstanding character.
Kulak, to me, is our closest prospect to what Brodie is now. Kulak is an extremely smooth skater, but needs to pay greater focus to a consistent defensive game. He has tons of skill in the O-zone and when the puck's on his stick. He just needs to work a bit at the other end.
Arnold would be my third choice after those two. The fact that Arnold put up points when he wasn't with Johnny is intriguing and raises his stock IMO.
