Tough spot to pick here.
Rittich looked really good as a rookie in the AHL
Gillies still has starter upside IMO
Dube has looked solid since being drafted
Fox had a historic offensive season in NCAA
Mangiapane had 20 goals as an AHL rookie, which seems to go unheralded by many
Foo looks like a solid addition after a strong NCAA season
Poirier and Shinkaruk have both fallen pretty hard in my eyes and are on their last legs as prospects, Klimchuk took a big step last season but needs to have a strong follow up to rise much in my rankings.
I will go with Fox here, but any of Gillies, Rittich, Mangiapane, Foo or Dube are fair choices in this spot
