Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll: #10

[Anglesmith]

We did this last summer, lets do it again.

I am going to start with some guidelines.

To be considered a prospect in these polls they must be under 26 (as of July 1st, 2015) and have fewer than 80 games of NHL experience (including playoffs).

I will set polls to expire in 48 hours. After 48 hours a winner shall be declared unless the winner has less than a 10 vote lead. At which point there will be a 24-hour poll that pits against each other anyone within 5 votes of the leader. There will not be multiple runoff-polls so a win by 1 in a run-off poll will be final. After a winner is declared the next poll will be put up at my earliest convenience.

The current plan is vote on all 37 eligible prospects, but if participation dissipates it may stop sooner.

List of eligible prospects:
Agostino, Ken
Andersson, Rasmus
Arnold, Bill
Bennett, Sam
Bruce, Rily
Carroll, Austin
Culkin, Ryan
DeBlouw, Matt
Elson, Turner

[Pirate King Luffy]

Ferland.

 

[Anglesmith]

Torn between young McDonald and Ferland, but went with Ferland. Had a great playoffs and showed he can play and be effective in the NHL if he wants to work for it.

 

[Skobel24]

Granlund.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Granlund.

 

[InfinityIggy]

McDonald for the 2nd time.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Russian

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Ferk, just because I hate Bieksa.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Granlund.

Also, why is Jooris on there? Seems silly.

 

[Gritty]

Granlund.

Also, why is Jooris on there? Seems silly.

Because of age? (3yrs older than Granlund)
Or because of NHL games played?

Jooris: 60
Granlund: 55

I just don't really see why Jooris being considered a prospect is "silly" while you have no issues with Granlund? Seems... silly.

 

[Monahan For Mayor*]

Granny damn it!

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

Granlund.

Also, why is Jooris on there? Seems silly.

Because the criteria for being a prospect in this poll is to be under 26 and have fewer than 80 NHL games played. Jooris is 25 and has played 69 (lol) games, so he fits in.

Reading the OP is very helpful

 

[Taranis]

TSN is showing the Canada World Junior exhibition games starting Aug 03 with Hickey and McDonald. Hurrah!

 

[SaintMorose]

Went Ferland had a real affect on the series vs the Canucks

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Yeah, yeah, I know I know I know about the requirements - I've read the OP.

But he's an NHL regular. Hasn't he already pretty much established himself?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

He's not a regular. If he played multiple NHL seasons, sure. I agree with you as well that he shouldn't be in this poll, but he fits the criteria of this poll.

 

[SaintMorose]

Where are we at with runoff/next poll?

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Either Ferland or Granlund, voted Ferland.

 

[Monahan For Mayor*]

Granlund wins. Move on.

I was away for three days. Let's get this back up and running!

Results thus far:

-Ryan Culkin (1)
-Micheal Ferland (15)
-Markus Granlund (16)
-Josh Jooris (1)
-Mason McDonald (10)
-Kenny Morrison (1)
-Rushan Rafikov (2)

This moves Ferland and Granlund into a tie-breaker.

 

[Taranis]

Granlund for me.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Ferland!

 

[Anglesmith]

Ferly the Burly.

 

[Lunatik]

voted Granlund not because I think he is in the top 10 but because he's better than Ferland

 

[Skobel24]

Granlund, then Ferland.
