It's that time of year again. :yo:

Using Hockey's future criteria to determine who is or isn't a prospect:

Under 65 games: Zacha (70 games) and Blandisi (68 games) no longer eligible
Under 24 years old: Coleman (25), Pietila (24), Thomson (24) and Lappin (24) no longer eligible

Also I skipped the first poll, because I have a feeling that one will be very unanimous.

[table="head;width=3000]Rank|Player|POS|Draft Position|2016-17 Team(s)|Vote %|2016 Result|2015 Result
#1|Nico Hischier|C|2017 #1|Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)|---|Pavel Zacha|Pavel Zacha

[/table]

Please remember to vote for who you want to add to the poll next. Most votes gets included in the next poll

This was actually harder than I thought. Santini, McLeod or Quennville were who I considered. With Santini still being prospect eligible for this last year and already showing us what he can do at the NHL level I decided to vote him here. I think McLeod could be dynamite and way above Santini in a few years but time will tell. I see Santini as a great 2nd pairing guy or able to play 1st pairing if given the right D partner.

The best thing about this year's poll is that it will be very tough to pick the prospects after 3/4. Which is a sign of much better drafting. I thought last years draft was one of the best drafts the Devils had in years. With everyone saying this years draft being a dud, I was able to squelch my expectations. Then scouting staff pulled off another gem. I know there is still a lot of time before we see some of these players but I can see many of them making it to NHL.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I have to say I'm a bit surprised at how McLeod is running this poll. Thought it would be tighter between him and Santini.

If Fox McLeod can translate his speed and zone entries into the NHL he will give us a rediculous amount of talent down the middle with Hischier, Zajac and Zacha if he sticks with C. It really was between those 2 but I went with the guy who is already proving it on the NHL level.

I know Zacha has a full season under his belt but I feel like he should still be considered a prospect at this point. He's 20 years old
