My reasoning for that bottom three....
I like Malone, but I just don't feel he has as high end potential as most others on this list. I think he could arguably be placed ahead of Sjostrom and Dustin Brown, but that's a tossup. There are a lot of quality prospects on this list.
Koltsov's a likeable player. He's got good size, very good lower body strength, intense and superb speed, but I haven't seen a whole lot of offensive capabilities to warrant anything other than a bottom three ranking here.
As for Hudler, I don't like the overall package he brings. I don't see him as a player who could be built around and that's what I'm looking at in my rankings.
