Although none of them are right-stick users, I actually see a LOT of potential in the D prospects we have. I see Hickey as someday being a potential #2 to Brodie's #1, and I predict Rafikov and Kulak as being second pairing guys. That still leaves Wotherspoon and Culkin as a future bottom pairing, and then there's still Kanzig who could be a Regehr type shut down man with enough development. None of these guys are undersized or irresponsible, and while they have development to go, I wouldn't undersell any of them. Sure, not all of them will hit their ceiling, but the seed is still sewn for some of them to.

...Plus if they pick up Brandon Carlo this year in the draft, that could just cement it.
