Prospect Info: 2018-19 Prospect Poll

[Unsustainable]

Oh dang, I completely missed this with the holiday. Just sent in my ballot.

Hanging Chad?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Hanging Chad?

I’m hanging with Chad today, that’s a good thing.

 

[NotOpie]

Dave, think I sent mine in, but wasn't sure it was the right "method".

 

[DaveG]

Dave, think I sent mine in, but wasn't sure it was the right "method".

nope you did it right, I got it, I'll start tabulating things on Sunday.

 

[NotOpie]

Thx....of course I used the "rhythm method".....

 

[Bub]

Once I remembered how to spell Knyazev, I was all set.

 

[DaveG]

so still tabulating stuff right now. There's a couple ballots that I got that had players listed twice so I'm just waiting on PMs for clarification.. Totals/rankings are fairly well set but there's still some wiggle room on a couple of them including the battle for #5 so it's worth waiting for. 22 total ballots this year, 30 total players either receiving votes or that will be HMs, so I've got my work cut out for me in building these profiles

So, while we're waiting and since I've seen all your lists, here's my top 20:
1 - RW Andrei Svechnikov
2 - C Martin Necas
3 - LD Jake Bean
4 - RD Adam Fox
5 - LW Valentin Zykov
6 - W Warren Foegele
7 - C/RW Janne Kuokkanen
8 - RW Julien Gauthier
9 - RD Luke Martin
10 - C/LW Aleksi Saarela
11 - RD Roland McKeown
12 - C Nicolas Roy
13 - G Alex Nedeljkovic
14 - C Lucas Wallmark
15 - C David Cotton
16 - C Jack Drury
17 - C Eetu Luostarinen
18 - RW/C Stelio Mattheos
19 - G Callum Booth
20 - G Jeremy Helvig

 

[geehaad]

Someone doesn't know how to alphabetize correctly.

Other Mattheos, he did a pretty decent job.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

There is literally an A in every name on this list except Helvig. So the order is correct.

 

[geehaad]

HA! That's EXACTLY what I had just noticed.

 

[DaveG]

Someone doesn't know how to alphabetize correctly.

I prefer the method of putting various names on a dart board and just throwing randomly personally.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I just don't put goalies on my list because I have no clue how good of a prospect a goalie is. Well, I have no clue how good of a prospect most of them are, but with goalies, it's even worse.

I typically judge by performance, and heavily take into account analysis from leading experts, mainly this guy:

 

[RodTheBawd]

Is that Baron Samedi?

 

[DaveG]

indeed it is. Have to consult with the highest authorities in voodoo if we have any hope of understanding the position.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Is the position really voodoo or do we just really suck at acquiring them?

 

[RodTheBawd]

I'm ashamed, Live and Let Die is my #3 and I couldn't place the outfit.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I can't put any Roger Moore movie in my top 3, but that would probably be my favorite of his flicks.

 

[NotOpie]

Is the position really voodoo or do we just really suck at acquiring them?

Maybe we just suck at voodoo

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Maybe we just suck at voodoo

That’s not what Hedy Lamarr told me

Does this mean that all of these players were in at least one respondent's top 15?

 

[DaveG]

Does this mean that all of these players were in at least one respondent's top 15?

the 5 HMs weren't but were listed in top 20s by people that sent those, the rest yes

 

[CandyCanes]
