It came down to him, Morrison, and McDonald for me. I still like Culkin's progression year over year.

Hadn't really looked at it but the progression is interesting...
TJ Brodie:
Draft Year: 0.44ppg
Draft +1 : 0.79ppg
Draft + 2 : 0.86ppg
AHL Y1 : 0.50ppg
Ryan Culkin:
Draft Year: 0.42ppg
Draft +1 : 0.67ppg
Draft + 2 : 0.80ppg
AHL Y1 : 0.49ppg
I know points aren't really the whole story. And it was Brodie developing his 200ft game that really made him the player he is but in terms of pure offensive progression Culkin has taken very similar steps of improvement to Brodie.
Kulak started the year in the ECHL but a similar progression once he did work his way up as well.
Brett Kulak:
Draft Year : 0.33ppg
Draft +1 : 0.61ppg
Draft + 2 : 0.86ppg
ECHL Y1 : 0.77ppg
AHL Y1 : 0.5ppg
If either of those guys could turn into half as good a player as Brodie is that would be a win for this team.
