Prospect Info: 2015 Annual Prospect Poll #12

[The Midnight Burrito]

Last Poll: Pettersson won, finally.


Each poll will 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, which I believe only applies to Matt Bailey this year.

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, it's just a survey of who we as Duck fans like.

[Ducks Nation*]

Was between Wagner and Roy, went with Roy

 

[duxfan1101]

I wonder where we would have placed Roy if he had signed with us already.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I went with centerman Terry based off the reports from rookie camp.

Was between Wagner and Roy, went with Roy

I'm a big Roy fan and think he's about where he would be even if he signed. His size is always going to be on people's minds until we can see he can handle the big boys in the AHL & NHL.

Voted Roy here. I really hope he doesn't bail and make my Uni look bad. Glad I get to see him one last season considering the incoming class at Northeastern is supposed to be good. Hope he can help us win a Beanpot or a Hockey East title.

 

[Carelton CA]

There's only one guy in this group that does what Wagner does. Roy will never put on a Ducks uniform once he goes this year and NU ends he'll be a free agent.
