they would probably need better defense prospect.

maybe, but Barron, Guhle, Harris are gonna be solid.

Matheson also is good

maybe, maybe not, i think they will be nhl defensemen for sure, but outside of guhle, i dont think they have first pair potential. we'll see one day!

Hutson could, obviously he's a LD as well. Barron looks solid as well. Time will tell

Ghule and Mailloux have first pair potential. Nobody knows if they are going to reach it, but it looks good on paper.

i hear what you say, i guess ''first pair potential'' is an abstract concept too so its can can differ depending on who you ask. to me mailloux played so little that its hard for me.to have a solid opinion on its potential, the offense is there but the rest is A LOT of question mark to me. im personally higher on Barron. but i can wait to see what mailloux does this year now that he should be able to play more.

I guess Mailloux ceiling would be an Ekblad type of player: Huge, great shot to run the PP, stamina to play 25 minutes and flaws in his defensive game.

Or he could be at hot head bust and never play an NHL game.
