"A number of years ago we were talking about Chorney, Petry and Wild in an excited manner - top 4 material all - and I suggested that maybe one of them would become a real NHL player. You can expect the same thing with our new young dmen - 75% will turn out to be magic beans in the fullness of time. 'Curb your enthusiasm' is a phrase to remember with dmen"

--Always-thoughtful commenter AsiaOil at Lowetide's place.

If 75% of the Oilers' defensive prospect pool will turn into frijoles, you've got to pick 3 of these 12 as the guys to make it.

Kyle Bigos
Jeremie Blain
Brandon Davidson
Taylor Fedun
Martin Gernat
Oscar Klefbom
Martin Marincin
Johan Motin
David Musil
Alex Plante
Dillon Simpson
Colten Teubert

 

However, given five of these kids were drafted in the first or second round, an optimistic view says 33% will turn out, so let's say that 4 of the 12 on the list will end up in the NHL and play significant minutes.

Who is on your list?
