Grimaldi like Butcher may deserve to go here, but with this franchise I think Barron/Henley have better chances of actually becoming contributers; so it's tough to rate either of the midgets.

Clurman for me. I think he has the highest upside of anybody left in the pool, even if he is a long term project. I like Grimaldi, but I just think he's destined to be an AHL all-star. Valuable to an organization, sure, but I don't think he will ever crack the NHL roster, and I have a hunch Clurman will.

Clurman is tough to place. Seems like he really has the tools but it's so tough to compare him to the others. But yeah, a lot of the upside is unknown but could be high.

He looked really smart in the 2-on-1 drills at dev camp. Always made the smart play, forcing the opposing forward into a low-percentage shot. I know it's only drills and he has a long way to go, but he looked sharp, competitive, and composed in that setting.

Anderson didn't look like much in development camp, but I understand that his injury was holding him back. I just don't know enough about him to vote for him, but his point totals in junior do concern me about his ability to move the puck.

There's some upside there, but his injury last year sounded worrying.

He should be ok, I'm not really worried about that. He will take some time getting up to speed but they wouldn't have drafted him if it was something that's going to hold him back.

I'm going to give him a chance, I need to see him play. I just think there's a lot we don't know about him.
