Vote 5 Candidates
- You will be presented with 10+ players based on their ranking in the Round 1 aggregate list (10 players plus anyone with 99% of the voting points of the 10th ranked player)

- You will submit ten names in a ranked order, #1 through #10, without ties via PM to quoipourquoi

Guidelines
- Respect each other. No horseplay or sophistry!
- Stay on topic and don't get caught up in talking about non-eligible players
- Participate, but retain an open mind throughout the discussion
- Do not speculate who cast any particular ballot. Do not make judgments about the mindset of whoever cast that particular ballot. All individual ballots will be revealed at the end of the project.
House Rules
- Any attempts to derail a discussion thread with disrespect to old-time hockey will be met with frontier justice
- We encourage interpositional discussion (forward vs. defenseman vs. goaltender) as opposed to the safer and somewhat redundant intrapositional debates. Overemphasizing a tired single-position argument like, I don’t know, Harvey/Lidstrom, will only be briefly tolerated before one is asked to move on to a less tedious comparison.
- Take a drink when someone mentions the number of hockey registrations in a given era
- Finish your drink when someone mentions that goaltenders cannot be compared to skaters
