Kichton, Almqvist, and maybe Wikstrand are the only ones from the list worth keeping tabs on.

Kichton is always going to have the "small guy" problem but he's doing everything he possibly can to create himself an opportunity.
Almqvist and Wikstrand I don't know much about but their names get mentioned from time to time. That's not an accident.
Schmidt could potentially give you early returns but he's stuck in a pool of a bunch of Caps dmen trying to make the jump.

Considering Granberg was recently called up by the Leafs, he is certainly worth keeping an eye on. He wont be a big points guy, but still a legit NHL possibility.
Olofsson recently signed his ELC with Minny as has been assigned to the AHL. Honestly, I think he should be close to the top of your list.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Hutton really exploded this year. He is a super-unknown in the fantasy world, but he is worth a look if he keeps it up next year. He had ~3 shots a game this year, which is elite even for a NCAA forward, let alone a defenseman.
On top of his offensive skills, he has NHL size and is good defensively.
