I went with Klingberg, but it's not an easy choice. I could see arguments being made for Shore, Dickinson, Honka, Oleksiak, or Nemeth here as well.

 

[Ambassador Of Fun]

Oleksiak again again. Next I'd go Dickinson

1. Oleksiak
2. Campbell
3. Ritchie
4. Dickinson

 

[Satan]

Jason Dickinson. Complete package, tremendous potential. Love watching the guy play.

[Starry Knight]

I voted Jamie Oleksiak. People are getting down on him a bit after last season, but as a young defender there are always ups and downs. He went to the AHL a year sooner than the majority of his draft class which seems to have changed the perspective have of him. You have to take a step back and realize how young and raw he is.

 

[OttMorrow]

Lots of Oleksiak votes so far. To be honest, I think I'd go with Nemeth over Oleksiak at this point. I see little or no progession from him right now. To me he has not added much hockey sense, physical play, or offense to his size and skating to warrant a spot this high up IMO, but then again he is big and fast. I just think his ceiling is lower than we once thought it was.

 

[TrillMike]

Oleksiak then Dickinson

 

[glovesave_35]

I'm not down on Oleksiak, I'm high on Klingberg. This is going to be the best top 10 we've ever had.

 

[FrailSwan]

It's already tough.

3. Klingberg
4. Oleksiak
5. Dickinson

 

[MBTendy]

Had to go with Oleksiak. Hard to leave him out of our top 3, he has tremendous potential still and the highest ceiling IMO.

 

[TrillMike]

I think things will get a lot less lopsided on the next thread. A case can be made for several players. This has to be the best top 10 prospects we've ever had.

 

[TangoMcBride]

It's Honka time for me. His hockey IQ and offensive skill excites the hell out of me. I'm happy to see that Farkas rated him at an 8.0-C grade. The Dallas Stars haven't drafted a defenseman like this in..well, ever.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Jason Dickinson. Complete package, tremendous potential. Love watching the guy play.

Yep. Sticking with him.

 

[marty182]

voted for Klingberg. He`ll be our savior on the blue line next season

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

Will go with Oleksiak. Shore, Dickinson, and Nemeth are also in the discussion.

 

[Satan]

voted for Klingberg. He`ll be our savior on the blue line next season

in errrr..... Cedar Park??

 

[glovesave_35]

in errrr..... Cedar Park??

No, in Dallas by February.

 

[Hull Fan]

I'm down on Oleksiak and high on Klingberg. He's going to supplant Goligoski on the 1st unit power play and banish Daley from it permanently.

Shore is next for me. His physical readiness for the pro game gives him a leg up on some of the others behind him.

 

[Ogi1Kenobi]

I'm going with Jason Dickinson. I'm really high on that prospect.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Went with Dickzilla. Reminds me a lot of Toews, obviously not as good, but similar styles

 

[Primetimey*]

Klingberg is getting really over-hyped. Good prospect, but he isn't going to be a miracle for the Dallas defense this year.

 

[Bluesoma]

I have to go with Dickinson though I did have to think about it with Shore too. Both are potential first liners in my mind.

I wouldn't say Oleksiak has fallen as much as he's being surpassed.

 

[BigG44]

I'm down on Oleksiak and high on Klingberg. He's going to supplant Goligoski on the 1st unit power play and banish Daley from it permanently.

Shore is next for me. His physical readiness for the pro game gives him a leg up on some of the others behind him.

Not likely.

Ruff is already talking about wanting righties on the left point and lefties on the right point. That's why he mentioned Spezza as a possibility on the point.

A right shot D isn't pushing out Goligoski or Daley.

 

[BigG44]

I'm really having a hard time making a call. Piqued and Starry's points about Dickinson to make a ton of sense.

I don't agree that Klingberg's 19 year old season just disappears though. Campbell's OHL years don't. It's a part of the process and good on them from overcoming those issues. I don't see how a solid 21 year season makes it irrelevant, and that a solid 19 year old season for Bystrom isn't a reasonable indication he's on an even better path for success. He's highly skilled as well.

I don't think Oleksiak is down either. I think he just is proving to be who he is which is more of a Top 4 complimentary role like Bouwmeester right now (which is still extremely valuable) than say a top pair Chara. Of course Chara wasn't Chara until he was 25 or 26 so that even seems pretty silly to say. He still has that upside hopefully he just hasn't show it yet.

By the time Chara was Oleksiak's age ... FWIW ... he'd played 25 NHL games (1 assist) and 48 AHL games (13 points). Oleksiak has 2 assists in 23 NHL games and 56 points in 128 AHL games.

It's still Dickinson or Shore for me though.
