I still really like the upside of Healey, D'Artagnan, McDonald, Mattson, Sveningsson.
Schneider too has shown some nice flashes and is still a pup by goalie standards.

Fischer, Caroll, and Smith could all trickle through. Fischer showed some serious hands at dev camp perhaps explaining his 5th round selection, Caroll has all the skills and tools to be a better Bouma, and Smith was surprisingly productive at 5 on 5 in the AHL as a 21 year old who isn't physically "complete" yet.

Rafikov and Karnaukhov will probably be full-timers in the second best league after the NHL next year while both are still U23. We hold their rights until they turn 27 so if they decide to come over we will have exclusive dibs on two potentially NHL-caliber 24-26 year olds vets with good toolsets.

Crazy. Is this the deepest our pool has ever been? I mean some might say our worst prospect is Brett Pollock and that might be harsh on a guy who had a decent junior career and is still 21.
