Sergeev until he's gone. Jurmo went way higher than I had him ranked.

Bell again for me. Just too much there to ignore. One of these goalies is really going to make us voters here look really stupid over the years, but I think Bell will as well.

(Probably doing this for a while; some goalie guys thought he was the best netminder in the draft fwiw)
Hurtig, Bell, Yegorov, Sergeev, Hoskin, Morton all admittedly intrigue me in this ranking range...
*Kind of a cool side note, as I mention goalies - Flames Director of Goaltending, Jordan Sigalet, just gave us (@UpsideHockey) a follow on Twitter fwiw*

C level (intriguing, but need to see more to pass judgement)
Kerins. He had a pretty good rookie AHL year with 32 points in 54 games with the Wranglers.
I thought Kerins really faded after starting the season on a heater. He put up 20P in the first 22GP, and followed it up with 12P, in 32GP. Hopefully he can recrea6the hot streak next year.
I'm still voting for Morton, but a case can be made for a lot of guys at this point.

Having a lot of "B" depth is also good in the sense that such players are good throw-ins to facilitate deals. Another organization may need AHL depth or injury replacements.
