- Harrison: Fan favorite after being a physical forced in development camp a season ago. But he didn't have a great season and he took a step back at development camp this season.
- Carroll: Overage player drafted in the 7 round. More of a convenience pick as he is on the same team as Kanzig (though he could play in the AHL this season). Limited upside.
- Elson: I was higher on Elson last season as a potential energy depth player. But his upside was limited and he ended up in the ECHL for a good chunk of last season.
- Deblouw: Took a step back last season. Doesn't sound like he is all that committed to going pro. Limited upside to begin with.
- Thiessen: At 28 he is the oldest prospect on the list. He has one decent season in the AHL in the last three seasons. Can't see him getting past Ortio, Ramo, or Gilles.
