[Shady Machine]

Macaroni. He has the speed and grit to potentially be a 3rd liner. I don't know much about Lindo and I think Payerl tops out as a 4th liner. I've given up on the Kuhn for now.

 

[stayinalive]

Segalla. He and McNeill are the by far most underrated Pens prospects.

 

[Corvidae]

I think very little of Marcantuoni. He seems European B-leauge bound in a few years. Lindo, I guess.

 

[Rico Fatastic]

I voted Jaden Lindo because his name sounds like a Jedi's name and because it would be amusing if we had to have a run-off for 20th place.

 

[Fordy]

lindo is finally getting the respect he deserves

 

[jmelm]

Segalla and Lafferty > Ruopp, Uher or McNeill

 

[No Quarter*]

Marcantouni

 

[AlanMSaunders]

Segalla and Lafferty > Ruopp, Uher or McNeill

I like Segalla. What makes you so sure about Lafferty?

 

[Burgs]

Jaden Lindo grabs the final spot aaaaand we're done. Thanks to everyone who participated, and til next year.

#20 Jaden Lindo (32.37%) (new)

There was almost no movement in the top 5 except for one Finn replacing another.

Stock up: Murray went from off the list into the top 10, Megna improved from 16th to 7th place. Our two Swedes continued their ascent. Samuelsson is now 10th, he was only 18th last year and unranked two years ago. Sundqvist improved to 6th place from 12th last year and 20th in his draft year.

Stock down: Hartzell fell off the list after going 7th last year as a new entry. Kühnhackl is also no longer ranked after getting 11th place in the two previous polls. Blueger and Wilson got bumped out of the top 10.

Awesome job as usual Burgs

 

[alexfr]

I always enjoy seeing these every year. Just out of curiousity, to keep the old results somewhere easy Burgs to compare?

Ive seen a few ppl whining in relation to who cares or why this is done, would be interested to see how some of the old 14-20 prospects fared in past polls

 

[Burgs]

I linked the previous years in the #1 poll. At least the ones I've been doing. I took over sometime during the 2008 poll but that wasn't the first one this board did.

Edit - I've looked up the older ones:

2007 top 20 poll (run by WVP): Letang/Esposito/Goligoski
2006 top 20 poll (run by BigMcLargeHuge): Malkin/Staal/Welch
2005 top 22 poll (run by FleuryFan29): Malkin/Fleury/Whitney
2004 top 15 poll (run by FleuryFan29): Fleury/Malkin/Whitney
