I used the first ten eligible prospects from Kris Baker's February rankings for the opening poll. Per usual, after casting your vote, suggest one player from the remaining prospect pool to add to the next poll.

F: Christian Isackson, Colin Jacobs, Eric Locke, Sean Malone, Brad Navin, Logan Nelson, Jonathan Parker, Judd Peterson, Tim Schaller, Kevin Sundher, Shawn Szydlowski.

D: Mark Adams, Brady Austin, Nick Crawford, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, Matt MacKenzie.

G: Connor Knapp, Nathan Lieuwen, Andrey Makarov.

********************

Eligibility Note: A player will be considered a prospect until he meets the following criteria. Thus, there are four subtractions from the last set of polls. Brian Flynn (80 GP) graduated, while Corey Tropp was claimed by Columbus. Zemgus Girgensons (56 GP) and Mark Pysyk (61 GP) also have "arrived" and could very well meet the 65 NHL GP graduating prospect threshold by the end of this set of polls.

Crawford, Hackett, Knapp, Ruhwedel, and Szydlowski are approaching the upper limit of the age criteria. I'd also project Hackett, McNabb, and Ruhwedel to be tendered offers as RFA's, while Crawford, Knapp, MacKenzie, Parker, and Szydlowski may not get another contract. Further, Buffalo holds the rights to Austin, Kea, Nelson, and Ullmark until June 1, 2014 and to Adams until August 15, 2014.

This one was tough. Went with Possler.

Ruhwedel and Hurley are very close though.

Add Lieuwen. Earning the starting job in Rochester has to make you in the top 25, right?

Hackett only because I cant see him falling any farther.

He's going to fall a lot more until I vote for him. He has a sub-.910 SV% over the last two seasons in the NHL. I've seen nothing from him so far to suggest he's an NHL goaltender.
