Default late round gems?

Which of these players would you grab as a late round flier for the league in my sig? I have them basically in the order I'm thinking.

Daniel Catenacci
Jean-Gabriel Pageau
Nick Shore
Connor Murphy
Brett Ritchie

Any other prospects along these lines with any future fantasy relevance, I'll take some suggestions as well. Thanks!

Call it a gut feeling but I've been drafting Ritchie in all my keeper pools this year. Partly because he's been such good value for where I've drafted him but also because I've read a lot of positive things and I really like his size. I'd say from this group he has the highest probabilty of playing in the NHL but not the highest upside and I tend to play the odds on this stuff. If you've got a higher risk tolerance I'd go with Catenacci but I can't recommend it. I'm also a believer that most NHL scouts know a thing or two about a thing or two and with Ritchie going a full round ahead of any of the others it gives him much more credibility in my books. If you want to really get into it just run the percentages of NHL players drafted in each round of the draft, the drop-off over the first three rounds is exponential! Ok, I'm rambling now......

Part of what I really like about both Dallas and Buffalo has been their ability to mine NHL talent outside of the 1st round. Notable Dallas selections outside the 1st round; Ericksson, Benn, Neal.

I would definitely take Catenacci 1st, and Ritchie 2nd from that group.

Obviously no idea who has been picked already, but here's a few I've had my eye on anyway.

Nicklas Jensen (1st rounder but fell to me in later rounds in every draft)
J.T. Miller
Ryan Sproul
Boone Jenner
Victor Rask

Thanks fellas. It was a tough question to ask - we were in the 5th round (last 10 picks) of a 16-team draft which is basically 2011 draftees and anyone not kept last year (we keep 23/25)

Jensen, Miller, Sproul and Jenner went in the 3rd round.
Rask was someone I had my eye on but was taken right before my pick.

I went with Ritchie and Catenacci. I had Ritchie low on the list but the more I read about him, the better I felt with the pick. Especially with 4horsemen's post - reminding me how great Dallas has been finding gems late.
