Best Undrafted hockey prospect who is available

Who are the best undrafted (first eligible no earlier than 2007 nhl draft) youth talents who don't have contracts with an nhl team right now? Who is the best who is signed? Who is the best that is unsigned.

Danny Dekeyser is probably the most talked about right now.

Brenden Dillon and Matt Fraser, both Stars' prospects, were undrafted and are shaping up to be decent NHLers with good potential.

Brett Gensler from Bentley University is definitely one of the best unsigned, undrafted players

Don't really know a whole lot about him, but Nate Schmidt has put up some nice numbers in the NCAA

There's a reason Slepyshev went undrafted. He has little-to-no desire to play in North America.

Andrej Sustr from University of Nebraska-Omaha. Huge 6'8 defenseman who can skate very well for someone his size. Some people may remember him from the 2010 Czech Republic team at the WJC. Has improved dramatically since his first year in USHL and is showing massive potential at this point. He'll be very highly sought after this offseason.

Here's a year old video of him:

Kyle Thomas of DIII Norwhich has been at the Wild's prospect camp the last two years and looked very impressive. Didn't look out of place at all amongst the rest of the Wild's top prospects(granted Granlund, Coyle, etc where kind of coasting and he was an invitee looking to make an impression) and could have a good chance to atleast get an AHL deal after his upcoming senior season. He has a lot of speed and was an absolutely relentless forechecker when I watched him.

Love Sustr but in my opinion he isn't even the best dman on the team. Michael Young for me.

I LOVE his game. Not the biggest, but strong. Great skater, cannon from the point, runs a great PP, terrific hockey sense.

Artemi Panarin? Has a KHL deal though...so not available. Useless post is useless.

Anyway, he put up 26 points in 38 games in 2010-2011 for Vityaz, which was a terrible team filled with goons from NA that year, as a 19-20 year old

I just don't understand why he wasn't drafted
