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.

ELIGIBILITY: All players whose rights are held by the Buffalo Sabres and who are eligible to win the Calder Trophy for the 2021-22 season are eligible inclusion. That means a prospect is eligible if--

• He is under age 26 (as of September 15, 2021);
• 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: Matej Pekar, Matteo Costantini, Stiven Sardaryan, Aaron Huglen, Viljami Marjala, William Von Barnekow, Jakub Konecny, Tyson Kozak, Vasily Glotov, Brandon Biro
• Defensemen: Casey Fitzgerald, Miska Kukkonen, Linus Cronholm, Filip Nyberg, William Worge Kreu, Albert Lyckasen

R2+Pekar

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

R2 add Pekar

 

[truthbluth]

LW the LW. Add Pekar

 

[Royal Thunder]

Nadeau seems to have the most upside here, he’s slaying the Q. Add Pekar

 

[Rastin]

Kisakov, Add Huglen

I'm honestly surprised at myself at how far R2 has fallen in my own estimation that I prefer Kisakov here over him. I had pretty high hopes for him coming into this year.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Boy, the prospect pool is looking stacked again. Just have to hope it all comes to fruition this time.

 

[LongWayDown37]

UPL has fallen that far?

 

[Zman5778]

This one is tough.

I like Weissbach here by a hair over R2. Add Pekar.

 

[Chainshot]

This is the droid we are looking for.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

R2, add Pekar.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

7 KA choices so far ?, 4 non ?, impressive. Botts really was horrible!

I like Pekar, Kisakov, Weissbach, Laaksonen here soon.

If the Russian kids come over and turn out....fingers crossed

Shiny toy syndrome. And the high Botts picks are in the NHL, so they don’t count in this. But yea, Bryson, Dahlin, Cozens, Samuelsson and 6K have all played. Fans are high on Weissbach, Laaksonen and Portillo, some are on Cederquist and Rousek and Pekar.

Now what they become we have no idea.

EDIT: I forgot all about Johnson.

UPL has fallen that far?

IIRC UPL was ranked around #2 not too long ago. The prospect pool has gotten so much deeper since then.

His AHL struggles also haven’t helped. But this fanbase is extremely reactionary.

He had a few good games last season when filling in, I still have faith (didn't the same thing happen to Ullmark's development path ?). Would be great to UPL, Portillo, Levi.

Yea. Mind you Ullmark got lucky because he was able to have a full regular season after surgery. Whereas 6K has had to deal with one season getting shuttered, and the next season getting bounced between 3 different leagues before suffering a completely different injury. And even with the one team, he kept having to sign loan contracts.
