Hey gang, I hope everyone is enjoying this marvellous offseason.
It's that point in the offseason where the board winds down and there isn't too much to talk about, so it's perfect timing for the annual prospect ranking polls. I ran it last year and had a blast doing it so I've decided to run it a again. This time a little bit earlier in the summer, but I have some time off and it will be easier for me to run the polls.
Like last year I'm going to use HF's prospect criteria which is under 65 NHL games played. So that means that Klefbom has graduated. Guys like Draisaitl and Pitlick are still eligible. Just like last year I won't be including guys deemed to be AHL vets... So Ryan Hamilton and Brad Hunt are not eligible. In addition I will be excluding guys on AHL deals so Matt Ford, CJ Ludwig, Connor Jones, Kellen Jones, Josh Winquist, Ty Rimmer, Braden Christoffer and Connor Rankin are not eligible.
I've also decided to skip poll #1. I think we can all agree that McDavid is our top prospect. I'm gonna go ahead and give him 100% of the vote, because anyone that wouldn't vote McDavid is just trolling the poll.
Poll #2 will go up around noon tomorrow.
