Rank Future Fantasy Value of 2012 Drafted D-Men

[Atomos2]

Morgan Rielly
Derrick Pouliot
Cody Ceci
Matt Dumba
Hampus Lindholm
Ryan Murray
Slater Koekkoek
Olli Maatta
Griffin Reinhart
Jacob Trouba

I'm also taking into account who they might be playing with. Pouliot and Ceci have the potential to get a lot of points that way. I would've wanted to add Matt Finn to the middle of the mix under Murray.

That's fine if that's the case I'm just asking but I assume that means he's more of a two way guy then?

I don't think it makes much sense to put any such ceiling on Lindholm. He's indeed capable and/or hoped to be a two-way guy, but he has the qualities of a very strong puckmover, as well. His absolute ceiling is a #1-defenseman. And those with good puckmoving skills tend to put up very good numbers.

It was a very small sampling size. Anybody that watches Ceci on a regular basis knows that he played quite poorly in that series and that his play was not a proper indication of what he is capable of.
