"He's a big man in the way he plays -- taking it wide even if he knows he's going to get pinched off. He already looks like he's getting thicker and getting man-strength. I'm reminded of Brandon Dubinsky, when he was younger. Brandon used to get knocked down when he was younger, but he's man-strong now and guys bounce off of him." - Adam Graves
Voted for Michael St. Croix. His numbers are unreal. Fasth is also a nice prospect, but he's injured and he got cold in his last half a dozen games. He really only had 11 good games in the SEL, then went cold, then got injured. While St. Croix is in a lower-level league, his dominance shouldn't be ignored.
Add Oscar Lindberg because he's a teenager playing as a regular in the SEL, and that deserves recognition. He's also a second rounder in 2010, and there's nothing that shows that his value dropped since.
I also went with St. Croix...seems to me he has just as much upside as Christian Thomas, no? And as for MZA, yes, he has played in the NHL but beyond excelling in the SO I'm not sure how much success he will have.

I think Thomas is more projectable at the NHL level then St. Croix. He may be smaller, but he's faster, has the big shot, and isn't afraid to go into the traffic areas, which will serve him well at the pro game.
St. Croix may be more skilled, but that's all he seems to have right now at the moment. He seems to be getting better at his flaws though, so that's a positive sign.
For the poll, I voted Fasth, I think he has a legit shot at being an NHL contributor. Add Lindberg.
Went St. Croix with Fasth's foot injury as a cause for concern.
Add Lindberg. Also, I think our young D (Cesernak, Noreau, Parlett) will get underrated as people generally like forwards, and cause stats are easier to track for forwards at lower levels, but with the #'s they've put up as well as what we've seen from Parlett (I think he can be a call-up next season), they should contend for spots after the next 3 choices (Fasth, MSC, and Zucc).
Another interesting question: When does Stu Bickel appear on the list?
