I’d have to say that my top prospect choice would be Ryan Stanton. He is your classic Stay at home defenseman. He won’t bring you many points but he will get the job done. He’s come a long way this past season and I could see the Hawks experimenting with him next season. I don’t think he will start on the Hawks but a few call ups could definitely be in the works for him. Of course there is always room for improvement but there’s not one thing you can say that Station needs to work on in terms of his personal defensive skills. He also can fight. Lord knows the Hawks need someone who can give them a few decent scraps. Perhaps if Stanton worked on that he would have an even bigger chance of making the Hawks roster.

Rockford IceHogs Rinkside Reporter 2010-11 season
I just want to respond to Courtney. Seriously, you’re the rinkside reporter for the IceHogs? What do you report on? The quality of the food at the concession stands? Ryan Stanton? Are you high?
Ryan Stanton is a good choice…maybe not for the TOP prospect, but I can think of few that are closer to being ready than Ryan…he is going to make a good Dman for us in the years to come…
Via satellite, I got to see game 3 of the tourney, and the list of players that I was impressed with was too many to mention…
But I can tell you this much, Saad and Danault are going to be good pros…no doubt about it…they are both talented, they are both tough, but they are both SMART…especially Danault…his hockey sense is incredible at his stage of development…just can’t say enough…
Look at the players at 18-22 on your list…how good is this organization??? Very impressive…
How much did the 3 goaltenders play?
Of the 20 skaters listed, 13 are pros. IMO, Of those only 5 may ever see realtime in the NHL. I believe Stanton and Olsen are locks, Smith has got 3rd line game, Pirri needs to get faster, & Morin needs to re-find his game from before he got hurt. The other 8 are just wantabes. Lastly, I know Carter Hutton isn’t highly thought of, but he played get last weekend. Any thoughts on him?
