Klimchuk

He has declared himself ready to turn pro but we'll see. An overage season in Brandon could still be in the offing. As the least hyped of the first rounders in 2013, every development camp Klimchuk reminds us not to forget about him. He's deadly when he gets the puck anywhere around the net.

IMO there is no way in hell Klimchuk goes back to junior. His only problem is that we've got too many young forwards vying for a job.
Oh yeah, he's got Jankowski about where he should be. I have him a little higher at 12th. He was supposed to be a scoring centre but he hasn't shown anything like that so far. It's a little early in his career for him to be downgraded to being a defensive player but so far that's all he's shown. A guy like Byron was a good scorer in junior and even in the AHL. It wasn't until he got to the NHL that he had to become a defensive player.
I favour players who are more proven over possible high end, so I have Ortio, Wotherspoon, and Arnold much higher ranked.
