Well, I'm pretty firmly in the "who cares" part of the voting. Impossible to get a read on who, if anybody, will hit now that the tiers have dropped a little.

Picked Bogdan because he's moderately interesting, probably should have been a goalie but I don't really know them enough to make a decision. Frank and Phillips are farther along and produce more but I just have a hell of a time voting for 25 year olds in the prospect poll.

 

[twabby]

Washington has a history of successful undersized Matty Ps.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Bogdan.

 

[usiel]

Is a toss up for Bogdan and Hofer and I succumbed to recency bias.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Bogdan!

 

[Hivemind]

Voted Ethen Frank because I Frankly don't care about the polls results this far down.

 

[trick9]

Ryan Hofer. After that Bogdan.

Phillips is 25 and Frank is 24. I hope they amount to something at the NHL-level but i have hard time seeing them as prospects.

 

[Marshall]

I stopped voting after Poll 7 because I have no clue - feels like if even one of the guys after the "Top 7" hits, the Caps should be quite pleased.

Was not aware the Caps had 11 prospects. Great news!
