It's time at last for the annual prospect rankings to begin! This year the format will be a little different so it will be easier on me. This thread will have the master list of what we've voted on so far, in the same format I've used in the past, but in one place rather than a new one for each thread. The actual voting will be done in separate threads, 1-25, and then the last nominees who didn't get voted into the top 25 will be the HMs, in no particular order. We'll start with five prospects per poll, then starting at 8, we'll add two per round until we reach 10 to reflect the diversity of opinions as we get out of the consensus top prospects. Vote with comments for who should be added next each round, simple majority wins, tiebreakers are mine because I'm the one doing all the work. Polls last two days each, so we can get through them before the season starts and so everyone has a chance to give their input.
The rules for "Who is a prospect" will be any player who has played less than 65 NHL games and has not yet played the season of their 24th birthday. It's the same rules we have used in the past, going back to when HF used to cover prospects, so for consistency's sake we'll keep doing that so there's no arguments about "not a prospect anymore".
As far as the pool goes, the following players have been added since last year: Justin Barron, Jean-Luc Foudy, Colby Ambrosio, Ryder Rolston, Nils Aman.
The following players have been removed from the pool: Cale Makar (graduated), AJ Greer (trade), Nicolas Meloche (trade), Igor Shvyrev (released), Logan O'Connor (aged out), Vladislav Kamenev (aged out), Cam Morrison (released).
Let me know if I forgot anybody in the lists above.
