From the last poll:Rakell takes #6. He's the first one to drop relative to last year.


Each poll be open for 48 hours. If it's not close after 24 hours, I'll call it. If it is, it'll go the full 48. In the event of a tie after 48 hours, a 24-hour runoff will be held. The winner will get the open spot; the loser will go back into the pool, not get the next-lowest rank. The poll will go up to #25. Players are in the poll on the basis of HF's prospect criteria. Essentially, skaters with less than 65 games before the season of their 24th birthday, or goalies with less than 45 games before the season of their 24th birthday, are considered prospects. There are some nuances with respect to older-signed players, but I believe that applies only to Farragher and Andersen, who can remain a prospect for a bit yet.

Vote on players using whatever criteria you like. This isn't the readiness poll or the talent poll or the most-likely-to-be-best poll per se, it's just a survey of who we as Duck fans like.

Really like Kerdiles, but I voted Theo because I think he has a higher ceiling. I think Kerdiles is more likely to reach his potential though.

French dude.

BTW Spicy, that's some epic rickrolling.

I was wondering if anyone was ever going to click on that one.

Man, there are some damn good prospects still available.

Not as deep as past years, but we still look about 8-deep in pretty surefire NHLers.

Kerdiles.

I think this one is practically done. Kerdiles has 87% of the votes atm.

Yeah I don't think this one is going the full 48 hours. I thought it'd be much closer.

The real wild card here for me is M. Pettersson. His potential seems to be sky high, but he's just so raw right now. By next year, I think he could easily be one of our top prospects.

Really interested to see where he goes in this one.

Yep. Surprised he didn't beat out Rakell. IMO he's just as safe a prospect but has much higher upside.
Yeah that surprised me as well. Especially with the rave reviews Kerdiles was getting at prospect camp, which should be fresh on everyone's minds.

I think Kenton Helgeson can turn out to be a good shutdown dman in the league. Listed at 6'3 191lbs and put up 51 points and +31 in 71 games last year in the WHL. Also doesn't mind dropping the gloves. Not saying he should be this high up on the list but he's got some potential.
