All prospects who fit the HF prospect criteria are included.

ELIGIBILITY
-24 or younger and few than 65 (skaters) or 45 (goalies) NHL games played.

-If signed out of Europe or the NCAA, fewer than 65 (skaters) or 45 (goalies) 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
After the Top 10 is established, I will open threads for posters' individual Top 20 Skaters and Top Goaltenders to be ranked by some heretofore undecided consensus, but there was discussion of a condorcet method and I'm on board with that.

Odds aren't bad that one of them will between the remaining goalies and remaining skaters, even though individually each has a low chance.

Time will tell but after the 2015 draft I dont see any of them cracking a sabres team espescially on defence....that would have to be one special player to beat out Myers, Risto, McCabe, Zadarov and Pysyk on top of that any trades the sabres make to put them over the top, maybe Martin or Florentino as a 6th but doubtful. Would be a pleasant suprise though.

Brycen Martin, the only kid down here I could see having a better than slim chance at being full-time player. He's got top 4 size, and a good, but still developing skillset. Anyway, I thought we got a bargain where we drafted him.

He's next on my list. He has the tools but the toolbox is far from convincing at this point -- the same could be said of Catenacci, but it's easier to make it as a forward. Definitely a good add to the pipeline. We needed another defenseman with a decent NHL chance. After the big guns of Pysyk, Risto, Zad, and McCabe, we really have no one besides Florentino as a possible bottom 4 two-way PP guy, Ruhwedel as a depth player and JGL as a guy who's never gonna make it. I imagine we'll be getting another in the 1st round next year.

Even though he has graduated dont forget Myers is only 24. This blue line is young.
