RULES: Each poll will remain open for 2 days. In the case of a tie within the top 10, I'll create a 1-day runoff poll to decide the winner. Ties outside of the top 10 will be let stand as ties. For each additional poll, I will add the most commented next to add prospect.

• He is under age 26 (as of September 15, 2023);
• He has played no more than 25 games in any single preceding season; and
• He has not played 6 or more games in each of any two or more preceding seasons.

NEXT TO ADD: Comment the player you want to see added to the next poll. The following players are eligible:

• Forwards: Filip Cederqvist, Linus Sjodin, Brandon Biro, Linus Weissbach, Aaron Huglen, Matteo Costantini, Gustav Karlsson, Jake Richard, Joel Berndtsson, Stiven Sardaryan, Viljami Marjala, William von Barnekow, Jakub Konecny, Justin Richards, Brett Murray

#11 open for business.

 

[Reddawg]

Rousek, add Richard

 

[Royal Thunder]

Rousek again, add Richard

 

[Chainshot]

Still Neuchev for me - he looks like he could be a 2nd line winger if everything works out.

 

[Faceboner]

Neuchev add richard

 

[Fjordy]

Vitya machine

 

[Matt Ress]

Neuchev. High ceiling. Decent chance of getting there.

Add Ceder
We still adding?

 

[Zman5778]

Neuchev, add Richard

 

[SonofHerb]

Strbak. Add Cederqvist.

 

[HOOats]

Strbak. Pretty easy and likely #4 RHD outcome for him. Leader of his country's age group, pro bloodline. In five years, he should become exactly the player that we've found it so hard to trade for.

Add Jacksonville Jake.

 

[RefsIdeas]

Going Rousek because I think it’s a near-lock he’s at least a rotational NHL guy. Strbak is probably the next closest in terms of likeliness to stick in the NHL

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Rousek, add Cederqvist

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Strbak, add Richard.

 

[MOGlLNY]

I guess in terms of who is more likely to make it, it’s Rousek because he’s on a one way deal next year and could be on the team this year.

However Neuchev has the higher ceiling. So depends what we are looking at. I said Neuchev

 

[nanook17]

Neuchev, add Cederqvist

 

[Chainshot]

Neuchev. High ceiling. Decent chance of getting there.

Add Ceder
We still adding?

My list goes into the 30's so sure...

Add Huglen for me.

 

[billsandsabres]

add jake richard

 

[old kummelweck]

add richard.

 

[Gabrielor]

Strbak is going to surge on these lists in 1-2 years.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Still Neuchev for me - he looks like he could be a 2nd line winger if everything works out.

My pick, too. I thought about Strbak, but Neuchev has the extra development time under his belt.

 

[Chainshot]

Strbak is going to surge on these lists in 1-2 years.

That's the nature of these lists - the readiness factor.

 

[Dingo44]

Kozak, add Richard.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Team Strbak for me (as it has been for the last 3 votes), but I will certainly re-evaluate once I get to see the Russian kids in Rochester.

 

[Gabrielor]

That's the nature of these lists - the readiness factor.

I have at 7, so I'm bullish.

I also had him as an early 20s first. I never dreamed he'd make it to 45.
