Tough question.
Morin, even if healthy doesn’t have the talent.
Patrick, obviously has the talent, but not sure he gets healthy.
Rubtsov, maybe stays healthy, but I have no clue what his upside is even supposed to be.
Why not just end the mystery and package them all for the best pick you can get.
PS. Thanks for not including Jay O’Brien just yet.

He's ba-ack

I do think Ruby will become a solid 3C or 4C, Doubt he'll be a big numbers/points guy but every time I've watched he seems to be on the proper side of the puck, and plays a smart game. Seems like the kind of kid our current coaching staff will utilize and trust in the future should he not be the one we lose in the Seattle draft. Morin needs games, Desperately needs a good run without injury, NP is the wild card, I'm still hopefully he gets back but its hard to say whats going to happen, PCS has got to be hell to go through.

Hey Jay O. might’ve stumbled a bit at Providence, but he bounced back with the Vees! That team has had a few guys like Zac Dalpe, Ryan Johansen, Beau Bennett, Curtis McKenzie, Mike Reilly, Troy Stecher, Tyson Jost, Dante Fabbro. Not bad. It was a place to grow.

Let’s just hope the upward trend continues, because I know many of us are a little nervous.

Honestly. All those guys are young to start writing off. Morin is maybe older but a long term project as is and with injuries to boot. NP is really good and just a kid. Think he will return. Ruby is a kid too. Not sure why people get down on these young guys so quickly.
