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.

Borgen is underrated.

Add Oglevie. This season has been a wash for him, but I think he can play in the NHL in a bottom-line role.

Tough pick here, Smith is the current best player but he is about maxed out

Not sold on Asplunds offensive game

Laaksonen is tough to gauge until he gets to NA

Borgen has the skating and attitude, will more offense follow to round his game out?

I guess Asplund? Has the 'Splundy's Lane nickname made it to your households like it has in the Ruckus household (Mrs. Ruckus's vehement objections notwithstanding).

Would have picked Laaksonen but somehow seem to have missed the right button.

Lot of high potential left...

I love Borgen, Laaksonen, Samuelsson, Bryson...I haven't felt this good about our d prospects since I've been smart to our prospect pool (2008?)...

That all being said, I see Asplund as a middle six shoe-in, with a ceiling of the two-way winger for Eichel to free-lance.

I have hopes that they can continuously graduate defensemen into the near-term lineup so the don't have to pay players like Bogosian and Scandella to stay.
