That isn't to say the team is 22 players deep with high end prospects, but players that are interesting.

Yeah I do feel like this is one of the more interesting years. Maybe not as many high end prospects but from about 7-25 is a bit of a toss up of talented players that actually are performing okay.
If I was going to group them it would be:
Top end prospects (4)
- Valimaki
- Dube
- Kylington
- Pelletier
Could be Top End (2)
-Pettersen (NCAA performance close to 1st round level)
-Parsons (even though he hasn't shown it post-junior)
Then I really do think there is a big group of "interesting" prospects that have either had really good junior numbers, or impressed overseas, but either don't have high draft pedigree, have some question marks, or really as a fan base we just don't know enough about them yet.
Personally I think it's really tough to separate this group because I just don't know enough about them.
Forwards: Phillips, Nikolaev, Pospisil, Zavgorodniy, Tuulola, Gawdin, Koumontszis, Sveningsson, Ruzicka, Feuk, Nodler, Roman
Defense: Yelesin, Lerby
Goalies: Gillies, Zagidulin, Schneider, Wolf
Ended up going with Gawdin just due to him having a decent rookie season in the AHL that was similar to Phillips.
