RULES
Each poll runs 24 hours and is public. Vote for your choice and nominate a prospect from the list below to replace that player on the subsequent poll.

If there is a tie in the Top 10, there will be a run-off and the losing prospect will be returned to the pool for the next vote. Outside the Top 10, the tie will hold, the two highest Adds will be added and we'll move on.

PROSPECT RANKINGS
In the past, we've also done skater-only and goalie-only threads, as well as aggregate-type of rankings. If someone is interested, they are welcome to inherit that responsibility.

2. Casey Mittelstadt, C (-1) : 10 of 11 votes (90.9%). Runner up, Tage Thompson (1 vote)

Congratulations everyone, Graves-y just wanted to start a nice discussion and all the moaning and groaning scared him off, yeesh.

Note, the current poll is based on the 7 players who got votes in the #5 poll, then I added the 3 highest remaining from the Spring Top 20.

Enjoy.

Of those on the board, Pilut (7.05) just edges out Thompson (7.025). I then have a fairly substantial drop-off down to Samuelson (7.75), Nelson (6.625), Smith (6.5). Add Malone, who I have scored the same as Baptiste, ahead of players like Borgen, Bailey, Olofsson, and UPL.

I have Asplund and Olofsson tied at 7.25 (#3/#4)
Followed by Guhle and Thompson tied at.... why do you have Olofsson so low?

I thought there would be more Davidsson love. I don't remember if it was something posted on here but I remember reading things that spoke really highly of him

Lack of exposure / gut feeling / don't have a great answer. I need to see him more. When I do, I hope he moves up.

Nice list Jame. That top 7 including the order & relative gaps look about perfect to me all things considered.

Not sure about the rest 8 onwards - it's either too early to tell, I don't know enough or I already see the players never hitting anywhere near potential after that point.

Pilut is a bit of a wild card still but I believe the other 6 will all be solid NHLers hopefully for the Sabres.
