I really like many of our prospect Fwds, but I don't really project any to have top line talent. Poirier, Granlund, and Ferland and some others are 2nd tier talent imo.
Both Gillies and Ortio (and perhaps even McDonald) have a decent shot at become NHL starters, so I would probably rate them all above any of the Fwds.
On D I think Hickey and Andrsson are probably potential #3 guys, so they should be considered on the same level as the Fwds I mentioned earlier.
For me the only top end talent we have after Bennett is Oliver Kylington, and he has my vote. He certainly hasn't proved it over as long as some of the others, but I am fairly confident he will become an NHLer, and maybe even a star. Perhaps Loobs'si interview was the tipping point for me...or perhaps I am just enamoured with the shiny new toy.
I don't imagine the mob will be picking OK for a while, so I guess he has my vote for the foreseeable future.
