Kindl, Bourdon, Franson, Russel

Please rank these in terms of the next 2-3 years. I want to draft someone to replace Rob Blake when het taps out. I also have EJ, Carle, and Barker so my defensive core has potential.

Hello Fighting Emu:

I would go this way:
Franson - he might make Nashville but is likely to go to AHL. (Pronger like defenceman). Huge wing span, great shot from the point.
Kindl - likely to go to AHL.
Russell - may or may not make CBJ, small defenceman, huge potential if he can make the adjustment, likely to go to AHL.
Bourdon - don\'t think his game has developed much at all since being drafted.

Giraffe would likely rank Russell as 1. He likes him.

My thoughts.

I\'d rank them...

1) Russel
2) Franson
3) Kindl
4) Bourdon

Just so everyone knows, in this case, Russell has two L\'s

Hah yeah ok I did know that, it was a slip when looking at the title of the post. Oops!

Update: I ended up with Russel, Bourdon, and Leland Irving.
Thx for the help!
