[amnesiac]

Kravtsov was ranked #1 prospect by NHL.com earlier this year

My votes for him

wasnt that Button's list? https://www.tsn.ca/top-50-nhl-affiliated-prospects-1.1241869

 

[Fugazy]

Kaprizov.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Kaprizov had a better draft+1 than Kravtsov and he has done nothing but improve since then.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

I voted Turcotte. The next set of guys that should be voted next along with Turcotte in no particular order are Kaprizov, Zadina, Boqvist, Dach and Zegras.

Edit: Forgot to mention Kravtsov

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Can you stop making these so quickly? You miss 2-3 of the polls if you don't post for a day. Give a day or two for each poll.

 

[jw2]

I want to see the Kravtsov kid.
Followed by Zadina.

I close when results are clear

Kyrou still to add? Pronman had him ranked 16th prior to this season and all he did was put up a PPG in his first AHL season at age 20. Usually the guys that aren't flashy/skilled suffer from HFB recency bias but Kyrou might be the best skater among all prospects so I'm honestly not sure what gives.

It's almost surprising considering this was one of the weakest drafts in years..

I don't think this draft class was weak at all, personally.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

What a spectacularly awful list that is.

Button never fails to surprise.

Only time will tell, I may be wrong and will eat crow if I am. That being said, the sole point of the post was to highlight the fallacy of these group think prospect lists.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

I close when results are clear

Then why was poll #4 closed, less than 12 hours after you posted it with the results so close. Now you have 2 prospects tied for 4th overall.

Last I looked, Byram was ahead by 5 votes.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

turcc, then kapriz

 

[snipes]

How is Bouchard not even an option?

OHL Dman of the year.
21 points in 11 games playoff games.
8 points in the 8 AHL playoff games

Because every year the previous draft takes 15/20 of the top prospect slots according to HFB! Bouchard should be on there over a few of those guys, IMO.
