All prospects who fit the HF prospect criteria are included.

ELIGIBILITY
-In his Age-24 season, or younger, with fewer than 65 NHL games played for a skater (or 45 games for a goalie).

-If signed out of Europe or the NCAA at age 22 or older, fewer than 65 (skaters) or 45 (goalies) NHL games within three years of signing.

RULES
Each poll runs 24 hours and is public. Vote for your choice and nominate a prospect from the list below to replace that player on the subsequent poll.

If there is a tie in the Top 10, there will be a run-off and the losing prospect will be returned to the pool for the next vote. Outside the Top 10, the tie will hold, the two highest Adds will be added and we'll move on.

PROSPECT RANKINGS
In the past, we've also done skater-only and goalie-only threads, as well as aggregate-type of rankings. If someone is interested, they are welcome to inherit that responsibility.

Spring, 2018, Top 20
1. Casey Mittelstadt, C (--) : 83 of 87 votes (95.4%). Runner up, Brendan Guhle (2 votes)
2. Brendan Guhle, D (+1) : 80 of 88 votes (90.9%). Runners up R. Asplund, A. Nylander (3 votes each)
3. Alexander Nylander, LW (-1) : 36 of 87 votes (41.4%). Runner up, Rasmus Asplund (32 votes)

Add Weissbach

I want to add Laaksonen but man he is a complete and utter unknown for a 3rd rounder.

Watched him yesterday with Ilves. He looks good but I've only seen him a little bit since he transitioned up from junior. I haven't seen him enough to rank him.

Find it hilarious that Antipin who tops out as a N. 5 D in the NHL is somehow a better prospect than Victor Olofsson who won the goalscoring title in the SHL this year.

Every year start caring about floor more and more over ceiling. Antipin for me. +UPL

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Olofsson is not a lock but he has top6 upside. Antipin is bottom pairing D in the NHL. Its not bad but I would take the upside of 20 goal scorer over a secure meh bottom pairing D

Eh, Antipin has 42 NHL games, which Olofsson may never get. And Antipin has a pretty strong KHL/international resume too (so he and Olofsson compare in that regard). I have no problems being down on Antipin (I am), nor being high on Olofsson but I just don't see either as being overwhelming "better" than the other, just different.
