    I like Colborne. Ennis seems to be off to a good NHL start too so it's tough to argue against him being a very solid fantasy option in the future.

    Not just because he is doing good now, but I think I would take Ennis on this list..

    I would have to go with Logan Couture. San Jose has a potent offense and I don't see them slowing down in the next few years. He looks like he will stay on the Sharks and play a full season next year.

    Can u wait until after NHL draft to make a final decision?

    If so wait until u see where the kids land.

    One of Erik Gudbranson or Cam Fowler is the logical picks here in terms of top potential.

    Or if u r deadset against a defenceman and r looking for a Forward Vladimir Tarasenko has fantasy studliness oozing out of him.

    Also keep an eye on Alex Burmistrov. If he lands on a team that really needs C help (ie; Columbus) he'd be a nice consideration too. Ofcourse u r not going to take him that early.

    From that list(if u r patient) I love Chris Kreider. Hes got it all. Just needs the experiance.

    Highest upside - so hard to predict. You won't know who was right for 20 years, so put me down for Goncharov, the only dman on your list!

    Ennis, Colborne, Tatar. While I agree that Couture will be full time next year he won't be a fantasy stud like some others on this list. He's a complete 2-way player but will be more of a 70 point player throughout his career.

    Colborne will be awesome, peg him as 80 and maybe 85.
    Ennis comes second with I'd say 75-80
    I'm really suprised not anyone else said Tedenby. I think this guy will be awesome, and is around 75-80 also. Who cares is he's small? He's one of the best skaters not in the NHL.

    colborne is buried behind krejci and bergeron in boston. something has to give there before he makes an impact. if everything goes perfectly and he becomes the #1 C there i'd put him at the top of this list.

    eller will be a phenomenal playmaker in st louis as either the #1 C or the #2 (depending on berglund). close behind colborne.

    nyquist will likely be brought along slowly in grand rapids (as detroit does with their prospects) but he will be looking at a top 6 role (possibly as a winger) and should win this year's hobey baker trophy as top collegiate player. tons of upside in detroit's organization.

    couture could turn out to be a pavelski-type player in SJ, and as such i put him #4 on this list.

    honorable mentions go to kreider and tedenby, who i think will have similar upside as goal scoring wingers in their respective organizations. tarasenko could also fit in here.

    I can't really see any of these guys on this list with a 90 point upside but, I'd probably go with...

    Tatar
    Tedenby
    Colborne
    Ennis
    Eller

    As my top 5.

    Tedenby and Colborne are the guys with the highest upsides in my mind.

    Tedenby's speed is world class and not a bad skill set either, if he was 2 inches and 20lbs more there would be no doubt but he isn't so there is.

    Colborne projects out as a huge kid with great skill, maybe a poor mans Thorton (fantasy wise) maybe better over all value to his team though.

    About half of the guys on this list won't even make 100 points in the NHL but both Tedenby (if he ever comes over) and Colborne will combine for over 1000 NHL points IMO.

    There should be more love for Tedenby. He would be my pick, with Ennis and Eller behind him.

    I agree with Couture. They are letting him develope slowly and truely believe he will eventually replace Marleau. No offence to Ennis, but he was dominating the AHL as a rookie prior to injuries and call up's. He also seems defensively ready. I see 45 points next year then 60 and then his big breakout of 80. Just my gut feeling
