Personally how I evaluate prospects is their upside + llikelihood of reaching that upside.

So it would go something like:

50 pts - 1st line forward / #1 D / #1 goalie
40 pts - 2nd line / #2-3 D
30 pts - 3rd line / #3-4 D
20 pts - 4th line / bottom pairing D
10 pts - AHLer

And then add that to their chance of reaching upside (÷2). Prospects like Poirier, Bennett would be at the top by default and prospects like Kylington (project with great upside) would end up similarly to Arnold (excellent shot at NHL but as 4th liner).

I've been voting Morrison because I feel like he will replace Wideman by the start of the 2016-17 season. Long term he would be middle pairing with Hickey. IIRC both have bullet shots, so both our PP defence units would be deadly.
