Guys I know Rasmus Andersson is a great prospect but you can't rush young defence men. I think the organization will want him to start in Stockton.

Serious question has a 2nd round defenceman gone straight from junior to the NHL in the last 10 years? I'm not sure how to find the answer to that question. I'm betting it almost never happens and for good reason. Much harder to break in as a dman than a forward. Took Brodie quite a while to become great. Same for Gio. Hamilton is still a work in progress.

Wotherspoon and Kulak have a much more realistic chance of making the big club.
