Last year's rankings for comparisons (and what I'm referencing for "change of last year"): Prospect Info: - 2020 Los Angeles Kings Prospect Rankings #40

Here are the rules I'll be following:

- I won't vote unless it's a tie breaker. So there should never be an "overtime" or tie to keep this going.
- the crieteria for prospects is straightforward: they have to be eligible to win the calder, and the Kings must own the player's rights, whether it's through the draft or an SPC (so AHL-only contracts don't count, but a player like Tkachev counts, since he is Calder-eligible)
- feel free to make a nomination after voting. Again, in the event of a tie, I'll be the tie breaker.
- use whatever criteria you wish for the next best available. Raw skill? Upside? NHL readiness? Progress since drafted? Astrological Sign?

I'll always list the candidates in alphabetical order. By default, I'm setting the timer at 24 hours, as I hope to go through the entire list. If it seems like a landslide, I'll call it early.

List of eligible players to be nominated:
Alexander Dergachyev, F
Matthew Villalta, G

Hrenak. I still think he is our best goalie in the pipeline

add. dergachyev…..I guess.

 

[Lt Dan]

Aatu Deetoo

Add Carey Mahoney

 

[Master Yoda]

Add Villalta.
I know nobody thinks he will even get another contract, but he's still the #1 guy in Ontario and will have another chance to prove that he doesn't completely suck.

Ben (silent H) Meehan

From Mayor:
From the clarification department, the official pronunciation of LA Kings prospect Ben Meehan is with a silent H in his last name. Now you know.
Day 3 camp: Among the forwards, we hear Martin Chromiak ‘tested’ at or near the top of the group, while Jordan Spence and Ben Meehan were the stars among all defenseman.

Spence is BY FAR our most underrated D prospect. As proven by this and last years prospect voting game we we play here.

Funniest thing about this whole exercise is that Tkachev could be the best player on there as of right now. I guess we'll find out soon.

Yup. That's where people have to use their own criteria.

He's likely the most NHL ready, and he should be. He's 3 weeks away from not being Calder eligible.

It's a best PROSPECT not a best player list
