And what about the people voting for 20 year old Svozil who just had a huge season and is actually leading the poll at this timeBrindley AINEC.
People are voting with the logic that Isaac Phillips is a better prospect than Oliver Moore.
A 23 year old 4th round pick who’s best season involved scoring at the same rate as an age 19 Chinakhov in the KHL is voted as a better prospect than 18 year olds taken in the 1/2nd rounds, because he’s closer to the NHL? What?
I'll have what he's having...vote Dima and add Dani.Voronkov, add Tarasov
Not issue here, is it possible you accidentally put the thread on ignore?I was surprised to see poll #4 this morning because I never saw #3. It appeared briefly this afternoon but now has disappeared again. Two computers two different browsers. Anyone else have this problem?

I havent said an add player because im in the same boatI have no idea who to add.
I watched a lot of prospects this year but mostly for the draft and haven't watched most of our kids.
@CBJWerenski8 Christiansen should be on the add list, fits the criteria here. I'm not voting for him now, but maybe in ten picks.
Add Tarasov I guess.

voted Voronkov & going with Tarasov. Would have voted Danil sooner - didn't realize he still qualified. We need him to be really good & I believe he is.
You might be correct about Voronkov. I can't deny his upside is lower and that there are flaws in his game but I still have him currently in top-5. As of today I don't see huge gaps between him and guys like Mateychuk, Svozil, Brindley, Ivanov and Ceulemans, very roughly speaking they're same tier prospects for me. The tier below that would include DBB, Dumais, Dolzhenkov, Malatesta, Tarasov etc.. Fantilli and Jiricek would be only top tier guys.The skill disparity between he and others is huge. Shooting, skating, IQ, Defensive acumen, I don’t see any trait that Voronkov is better at than the others, except being larger in size.
Keep in mind he’s 4-5 years older than half of these guys, and statistically forwards peak at his current age.
I like Voronkov a lot, and watched many of his games on ESPN+ before they were taken off the platform. His upside is a third line guy.
I've watched him live and when he is on he is very good.. our defense was swiss cheese last year. I'm not going to blame our goalies he was getting blasted between the dots and closer. Goalies typically do not hit the NHL until they are in their late 20's, our fan base has unreasonable expectations more often than not.He's been bad since coming to NA. 24 years old. I think a lot of fans are holding onto hope about his hype + he's had some injuries. Who knows, maybe he puts it together finally (a lot of goalies do take several years before hitting their prime in the NHL).
