So far I've voted for the winner or the runner up every round, but I'm stepping off the conventional path for the next while and going with Yelesin. The guy was an all-star in the 2nd best league in the world. And while the NHL team is very deep at defense at the moment, there isn't much more in the pipe, so Yelesin should get prime minutes in Stockton to continue to improve and adapt to the North American game.
Assuming the Flames still move one dman from the NHL roster before the start of the season, then Yelesin is only a couple injuries away from being in the NHL this year.
