Anthony D'Angelo
I could see him as the closest to Ghost. Matheson is likely the better all around defender but i like D'Angelo's offensive upside much more. If he can bump Stralman off that top PP...damn!
I'll get things started......
Mike Matheson - stud prospect who will be playing in the NHL full time next year. Likely to be paired with Ekblad, likely to get solid PP time and already showing he belongs.
The next Ghost might be a stretch but all signs pointing towards a very solid rookie year and solid fantasy production with lots of room to grow.
Who else?

I'd put up Ryan Pulock or Oscar Klefbom. I think both have a high upside and god knows someone on the point for the Oilers has to start putting up points. If Klefbom is still there next year, I think he could be that Dman.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
A couple that are on my list to take a big step forward:
Whoever actually gets a spot with Toronto past the veterans from this season… Zaitsev perhaps?
Nurse/Klefbom (Someone has to step up with EDM right?)
S. Jones
Severson (If NJ finally decides to go with one guy on the PP, he should be it)
Provorov (Someone has to take Streit's PP time)
Esa Lindell
As a wildcard, I don't have too much faith in Zadorov, but he has the skills to put it all together at some point.

Klefbom is another good one. I own him and am super excited for his potential. Only fear is that Edmonton gives away one of there top F's for a Dman, (Vatanen, Shattenkirk) and give one of them all the top mins

I dont see DeAngelo playing in the NHL full time next year unless the Bolts start shipping out other Dmen or major injuries occur. Right now, they already have Carle, Garrisson, Colborn, Hedman, Stralman and Sustr under contract next season. Nesterov is a RFA and will more than likely get a one-way deal as well.
I think DeAngelo is still another year away from full time duty at best. I dont think they are in any hurry for his services either.

I could see DeAngelo coming up after an injury next season and making a case on the PP to stick, just like Ghost did. Carle is out if Tbay can trade him or if they decide to buy him out. He has fallen very far out of favour there.

I have to agree with Pulock and Theodore.. People involved with the Wheat Kings have raved about Provorov as being the best Dman they have ever seen in Brandon.. And that list includes guys like Redden and Pulock who I already mentioned..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Not sure I see it in Matheson but I could be wrong.
Some defense that I think could really breakout next year:
Jones
Provorov
DeAngelo
C. Miller
Theodore
Montour
Dark Horses: Severson, Zadorov, Honka
Klefbom and Theodore
