Still surprised by the lack of votes for Laczynski & by how concentrated the voting has been the last few rounds. Thought there’d be more of a spread.

I think with this it's opportunity vs competition. Vorobyev "seems" to have a 4th line C spot open for him with little competition and still has upside. Whereas in wing, we seem to have a lot more depth now with so little amount of spots.

And I am sure exposure is coming into play too.

Laczynski will probably win the next poll in a landslide too. Both Vorobyev and Laczynski aren't perceived too have much more than 3rd line upside. Then Vorobyev is a couple years further down the line than Laczynski. As Tanner is going to spend another year in college and then likely a year in the AHL. Vorobyev should be in the NHL this year or next year. That difference is what you probably see in the poll.

I assume you’re right — that Vorobyev having a year of AHL exposure & an opportunity to play in the NHL is the underlying reason for the discrepancy. Still kind of surprises me that for two arguably equal prospects the spread would be 70-some votes vs. single digits in favor of Vorobyev over Laczynski. Not knocking those who rate Vorobyev higher; I’ve always liked him; just surprised there’s so few who give Laczynski the slight nod given his (probably) better offensive upside.

Yeah, I don't think the huge discrepancy in votes is indicative of skill level.

It is more or less the question, would you rather have 10 dollars now or 10 dollars next year?

I think we can fairly call this one.

Twarynski is next for me....

He has a shot at it....
