For Nurse the ranking is mostly based on potential. I still think he has the time and ability to turn into a top pairing d-man. Obviously he's far from a finished product but he's been rushed. We will see if it permanently hurts him, I think he can probably turn around his career now that the real clowns in Edmonton aren't in complete control.
Lindholm is still a very good player. In comparison to Monanhan he's a touch smaller, much more of a slick puck handler, got some sneaky offence in him. I think he actually compares in style more to Bennett although not quite as feisty. I think he has elite 2nd line centre potential or bottom tier 1st line centre potential.
Wennberg impresses me every time I watch CBJ. Very, very smart player. Very good puck handler. Very skilled overall. Decent size on him. Definitely a top two line centre already. Much like Lindholm I think he can be an elite 2nd line centre or a bottom tier 1st line centre.
I mean I don't watch a ton of those guys but those are my impressions from what I have seen.
I probably should've put Burakowsky on my list as well, I've seen him the least though so I didn't feel as confident placing him in the rankings.
