I have heard of most of the guys but have never seen them play, so I was at a disadvantage and didnt want to write anything about them based on paper reports.

Klingberg looks pretty decent and I know the old regime was pretty high on him. Daultan Leveille, or the last hope to salvage something from the Hossa trade, is a real burner with some good scoring ability.  Like Burmistrov, though, his small stature is a concern.  The defense is where this team is strong.  Kulda is nasty.  Has a real nice mean streak. Paul Postma has shown some real good offensive skill.  Might have to bulk up a bit, but he could be a good one. Both defensive prospects could be just as good as Hainsey or Oduya at a MUCH cheaper cost.  The goalies have high upside, but have been a bit inconsistent to this point.  Overall, C+ would be a pretty accurate rank for this group. The system is hurting badly for some Top six forwards.

That’s what IC is all about (stellar hockey coverage too, I suppose)
