-----------------
Grebeshkov nearly made it. I consider all the guys above future #1/2 defensemen, Grebeshkov is right there too, in a way I nearly took him over Liles, but it's tough to say. Gleason is pretty good too, so LA Kings fans, fear not, those guys are both still very high on my list, just didn't quite make it here. Orpik and Seabrooke are pretty close here too.
Klesla and Komisarek don't impress me. I doubt they become top pairing men - either one of them. They are further down the list
Volchenkov, Whitney, Welch, Martin, Hale and such probobly sit right after Grebeshkov, Gleason, and Seabrooke.
