I think Schremp's skill level is that good, that I'd take him over all the others, but I'd like to see him improve his foot speed/skating.
Olesz I've only seen twice at the wjc's and wasn't that impressed, so it's hard for me to really rate him. I thought his linemate Kaspar was more noticeable in the Czech/Slovakia game (just rewatched last week) but from what I've read, I'd take Olesz over Schremp, but from what I've seen I'd go with Schremp.
Ladd looks like he's going to be a solid PF type, good skater/speed for his size.
Tukonen I really liked what I saw from him at the wjc's, good size skating speed, and was physical as well. I don't know how well he will do offensively in North America, but he has a great package of skills to work with.
Barker has good size/skating/offensive abilities, should be a top notch defensemen, may need to work on his turning, but that's what a scout said to me, as I talk with ISS scouts every so often.
Radulov I've never seen, so it's hard for me to rate him. Sounds like he could be a good one for sure.
