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.

[jc17]

Close between pekar and cederqvist for me. Went cederqvist because its hard to pass on decent shl production from a guy with decent size. But pekar still has something this team needs regardless of production

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Gotta go with Pekar here. Would go Rousek except he’s out. I can’t vote for him until I see how he does in North America.

 

[Reddawg]

Recency bias in full effect but voted Bloom. Kid looks real good.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Cederqvist slightly ahead of Bloom for me.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I'm going Cederqvist. His jump in production/development arc reminds me of a certain other Swede we drafted in the late rounds not so long ago.

 

[Buffaloed]

I think Bloom was a steal that would have gone in the 2nd round had he played last season.

 

[Rastin]

Bloom, Fitzgerald and Pekar are a toss up for me here. Went with Bloom for highest ceiling.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Went with Rousek, but it's close between Rousek, Bloom, Cedarqvist, and Fitzgerald.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Josh Bloom literally can’t be stopped at the moment, recency bias but at this stage I vote him.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Josh Bloom literally can’t be stopped at the moment, recency bias but at this stage I vote him.

He can’t be. He’s blown this vote away. But I do think that’s skewed the voting. If he had half of his points he wouldn’t even be in the conversation.

That being said, I hope he has a better career than my vote, whether that’s in Buffalo or not. I’m fine being wrong

 

[Chainshot]

Went with Rousek, but it's close between Rousek, Bloom, Cedarqvist, and Fitzgerald.

Rousek’s injury is concerning for a guy whose game is predicated around his explosive speed.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Rousek’s injury is concerning for a guy whose game is predicated around his explosive speed.

That's the only reason he hasn't gotten a vote from me yet.

 

[Chainshot]

That's the only reason he hasn't gotten a vote from me yet.

Same.
