I'm probably "off the board here", but I went with Ryan Culkin. Very strong junior career with good progression each year. Very strong first year in the AHL cut short by an injury. Played in all situations in Adirondack and had good reviews from the coaching staff. I like what I've seen from him over the years and I think he's going to be a decent 2nd pairing d-man in the near future.

For me, Culkin was right in the same group as Kylington, Andersson, Wotherspoon, Morrison, and Kulak. Really hard to choose from that group as they all have different things to be excited about, but for me I chose the guy that has shown steady progression at all levels and is probably close to being NHL ready.
