The first 5 names listed above the line are eligible to be put directly on to the list.

The next 5 (below the line), are eligible to be moved up to be put on the next poll. If any two are tied in bottom portion, I'll just move them up, and later on pare down the list when it gets too big.

We can tweak the process if it merits such.

This is to encourage discussion comparing prospects to each other, citing a drop in talent, etc. Especially for those of us less fortunate to see them for ourselves. It is not supposed to be a mock draft, so just pick the players you like.

You may also want to request a name to be added to the next poll.

1. Nail Yakupov, LW, Sarnia (OHL) - RUS (96.73%)
2. Mikhail Grigorenko, RW, Quebec (QMJHL) - RUS (50.00%)
3. Ryan Murray, D, Everett (WHL) - CAN (55.37%)
4. Alex Galchenyuk, C, Sarnia (OHL) - USA (62.24%)
5. Filip Forsberg, RW, Leksands (Allsvenskan) - SWE (65.54%)
6. Matt Dumba, D, Red Deer (WHL) - CAN (67.81%)
7. Jacob Trouba, D, USNDTP (USHL) - USA (39.26%)

Rielly because he'll already be gone at this point in the actual draft.

Reinhart
Collberg

Add Pouliot

Same except for Pouliot.

Reinhart
Collberg

Add Koekkoek (played ridiculous amount of ice time should warrant top 20 pick)

I don't usually do this but I am will put my foot down and say Reinhart will be selected over Rielly. Teams do put emphasis on size + mobility over pure offensive skill (see McIlrath, Siemens + Hamilton, Cowen etc.)

I must say, I'm surprised at the love being showed for Olli Maatta. There was a point in the season where people seemingly forgot he existed.

you mean some teams.

Im sure there are a lot of teams who would prefer the more talented player.
