I'd rank them in terms of potential

Kylington
Hickey
Morrison
Andersson
Kulak
Culkin
Wotherspoon
Rafikov

All the other guys are long shots.

Spoon is rated low because his offensive game is not anywhere near as good as those above him. He's also the most likely to cement a spot in the NHL, but more as a 5-6 guy, where those above him have top 4 potential. We are now actually deep in defense. Now we need centers and right wingers coming through (most of the C's have graduated to the AHL except Jankowski, so there is a void beyond him)

So do you foresee a trade of D-man depth for forward depth this summer? Seems like this might be the time.
