Probably would be one of:
Sharks: Dickinson, Misa, Askarov (if not graduated). I assume Smith is considered graduated.
Montreal: Demidov, Reinbacher, Fowler, Hage. not having a 1st this year hurts them though, but it's an impressive group.
Chicago: Frondell, Levshunov, Korchinski. Drops off after that.
Might be Utah actually: Iginla, Simashev, But, and now you add Desnoyers
I think overall though it's still San Jose.
Calgary was 13th last year in Wheeler's ranking. And Wofl/Coronato already were considered graduated. So you take that group, led by Parekh who probably has risen in the rakings himself since, and add this year's draft, they could now be in the top 10. I will guess #9.

I think where Calgary might 'shine' (and don't get me wrong its better to be 'best' at 1-3 is like prospect 4 through 13 or something...we've got a tight grouping of first and second rounders and some rising later ones (Mews, Misa, Suniev, Brz etc) that are fairly indistinguishable (in a good way). of course I'm completely oblivious to most other team's 4-13 lists so this is a pretty uninformed post!
