Tyler Soy (is people). I'm a couple hours early but I'm going to guess there aren't two hardcore Gates fans out there who have been holding out until the last minute to vote. Who's next?

This year's results:
Rank | Prospect | yearly change | overall change 1 | Theodore | +1 | +10 (since 2013)
2 | Ritchie | +1 | +2 (since 2014)
3 | Montour | +1 | +9 (since 2014)
4 | Larsson | +4 | +4 (since 2015)
5 | Jones |n/a|n/a
6 | Nattinen | +4 | +4 (since 2015)
7 | Steel |n/a|n/a
8 | Pettersson | +3 | +3 (since 2014)
9 | Sorensen | +6 | +4 (since 2013)
10 | Kossila |n/a|n/a
11 | Welinski | +6 | +9 (since 2011)
12 | Kerdiles | -5 | -3 (since 2012)
13 | Noesen | -7 | -4 (since 2013)
14 | Terry | +2 | +2 (since 2015)
15 | Kase | -1 | +5 (since 2014)
16 | Roy | -3 | +1 (since 2012)
17 | Sideroff | +4 | +4 (since 2015)
18 | Besse |0| +5 (since 2014)
19 | Mahura |n/a|n/a
20 | Soy |n/a|n/a


Each poll will be open for 48 hours. If it's not close after 24 hours, I'll call it. If it is, it'll go the full 48. In the event of a tie after 48 hours, a 24-hour runoff will be held. The winner will get the open spot; the loser will go back into the pool, not get the next-lowest rank. The poll will go up to #25. Players are in the poll on the basis of HF's prospect criteria. Essentially, skaters with less than 65 games before the season of their 24th birthday, or goalies with less than 45 games before the season of their 24th birthday, are considered prospects. There are some nuances with respect to older-signed players, which I believe only applies to Garret Metcalf this year.

Vote on players using whatever criteria you like. This isn't the readiness poll or the talent poll or the most-likely-to-be-best poll, it's just a survey of who we as Duck fans like.

Keaton Thompson. i think he's the only guy left with NHL upside (he plays defends and he can skate fast - can maybe make it for a couple years as a 3 pair puck movdr
