This might be one of my favorite parts of ranking prospects. Obviously we will have opinions and be excited about the top prospects, but I really like getting in the weeds on guys like Ralph, Fischer, Susuyev, etc. They don't quite have the draft stock and name of guys like Dvorsky, Lindstein, Stenberg, Bolduc, and Snuggerud, but it's exciting to think of the potential of some of these players. If Fischer and Ralph can hit their potential, they will anchor the 2nd pair for many, many years. If Jiricek can get past injuries and refine his game, he could be a #1. If Susuyev comes over and dials in a moderaly ok two-way game and expands on his offense, he could likely be a 2nd line winger with dynamic offense. I've only named a few, but I personally like to imagine the potential and layout of the team with these guys hitting their potential (though many won't hit it). Makes things exciting when they'd be otherwise inconsequential.
