A number of the guys could emerge into being more than a #6/7 guy. That I'm sure is the whole point of getting a ton of similar players and saying here have at it, best one gets the ice time. All of these guys have been tweeners and ancillary depth with their former organizations. Never really given a chance to take a spot. If any of them become legit 2nd pairing defensemen or better, ala Forsling, then it's a huge boon and found money.
Tough to gauge until we're around the halfway mark to see if any of them step up. If so great, if not, also perfectly fine as that'll mean we are in top 5 pick land.
