[Ruckus007]

All prospects who fit the HF prospect criteria are included.

ELIGIBILITY
-In his Age-24 season with fewer than 65 NHL games for a skater (or 45 games for a goalie).

-If signed out of Europe or the NCAA at age 22 or older, fewer than 65 (skaters) or 45 (goalies) games within three years of signing.

-The following players' eligibility is based on the 22 and over rule: C.J. Smith (03/30/20), Lawrence Pilut (03/15/21), Andrew Oglevie (04/11/21), Victor Olofsson (04/24/21), Brandon Hickey (07/01/21)

-Danny O'Regan and Taylor Leier will age out after this season.

-If I have made any mistakes with the list, let me know.

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
In the past, we've also done skater-only and goalie-only threads, as well as aggregate-type of rankings. If someone is interested, they are welcome to inherit that responsibility.

Seems like Jim_Bob missed the warning...

 

[Husko]

Still like Malone turning into a good bottom six forward

 

[old kummelweck]

this is like the candy corn and smarties left in my kids halloween bag.

Cronholm is Laaksonen light, in that he was unknown, drafted ahead of a universally preferred player (Farrance vs Kurashev), and has exceeded expectations growing into a top 4 role as an 18 y/o in a men’s league. He’s my 14.

 

[SundherDome]

We all know where I went

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

oops, i did not mean to vote for byrcen martin. I was aiming at Malone.

I suppose I'm shooting about as accurately as the the Buffalo Sabres this morning.

He's had a couple of hard seasons since. This one in particular has been rough for his whole team, and that reflects on his slide in my rankings. He's still very good defensively but he's not got that extra gear to get separation and he's been supplanted in some offensive situations. I used to be very bullish on both he and Bryson, but while Jacob remains one of my favorite prospects, I've fallen off on Fitz.
