    Thats like asking to rank goalies 2-3 years from now. What makes it even more challenging is the only one we know who's team situation is Lundkvist. Good luck!!

    My best guess is Lundkvist, Drysdale and then Sanderson but really, it's anyones guess at this point.

    Sanderson is the easy third. Lundkvist and Drysdale are pretty similar upside wise, but Lundkvist is probably a season or so ahead development wise.

    The hardest part is trying to project when they guys are going to be playing in the NHL. I would probably rank them Lundkvist, Drysdale, Sanderson based solely on likelihood to appear in the NHL.

    Long term I would flip Drysdale and Lundkvist.

    2-3 years from now...

    I am thinking Sanderson might be the best producer of the three in the short term.

    The more I read/see about Sanderson is that his defensive game is ready and that his offensive game is improving. If that is the situation then NHL coaches are more likely to find him a spot on the team if they know his defensive game is NHL ready. If a prospect is working on his defensive game... then he is more likely to take a little more time to get their.

    So the short window in Sanderson. But the longer window I think I want one of the other two.

    Agree with Axe, it all depends where they are drafted. Then you can determine what obstacles are in front of them. They may stay another year in Jr, then the AHL so may not be in NHL in 2-3 years but in 4-5 years they may be studs. Bit of crapshoot but like Axe's order.

    Based on the information available, in both 3 years from now and long-term:

    Drysdale - Highest scoring talent
    Lundkvist - Closest to the NHL, but blocked by Fox and perhaps DeAngelo
    Sanderson - Least scoring talent and seems unlikely to be placed in a high-scoring role.

    The draft and offseason FA movement will help this analysis a good deal. Then the future will only be pretty cloudy, instead of very cloudy.
