Agreed, I think the more boom/bust prospects get the most help early on because even if they are long shots, and most like to be optimistic early on

it was 68 - 68, i just voted shinkaruk to put him at 69
this should be based on ceiling, not readiness

You should also factor in each players likelihood of reaching their ceilings as well.

I voted lack, surprised he is not doing better. As usual, their is a debate over ceiling vs NHL readiness, but I think Lack is high on either of the lists
Yeah, we definitely need a tiebreaker poll, it's too close. Let the Jensen and Gaunce voters decide who wins.
Exactly and we should only have a tiebreaker if there is an actual tie, not if it's close.
We've done a tiebreaker every year if it's close. Who decides when the poll ends otherwise? It was 1 vote up for Corrado earlier, now it's 2 up for Shinkaruk...
I'd be content just to accept the results and move on to #3 if my guy "lost" this vote for #2. Who cares? It's not personal. It's not by any means final. And it most certainly is provisional, until more data is gathered, more performances reviewed, and the next vote rolls around.
I voted for Corrado but agonized until the last minute about voting instead for Shinkaruk, with Gaunce and Lack lurking prominently in the front of my mind.
If Shinkaruk "wins" the vote for #2, fair play, and I had half a mind to vote for him anyway. If he or any of these guys become stud players we're all the happier for it. There's no losing here, and next year this vote may seem quite funny in retrospect, which is often the case.

I thought Jensen was a shoe in.
I voted Jensen, but in a run off poll, I'd have to say Shinkaruk though. No disrespect to Corrado, but Hunter's tool box, high ceiling and, I think anyway, his likeliness of hitting said ceiling, all make him more appealing for a poll like this then Corrado, who is nearly NHL ready, but probably tops out as a 2nd pairing D.

I don't think people realize what a gem the Canucks have in Shink. Skates well and is fast, offensively gifted and he competes, does not take games off. The only reason I think he fell is he is not huge (and even there he is not small) and is not a bruiser. A lot on the Leafs board could not believe they passed on him but they obviously wanted size and so took Gauthier instead
They do but again remember we are talking about prospect not player in general. Reason ZK isn't in the discussion (yet younger than a couple on the list and a recent top 10 pick) and could even argue Schroeder shouldn't be since wasn't even in prospect camp (kinda like say he isn't really a prospect anymore). Once you develop a few years, you probably should be taken off the list since you already had a few professional season. Also reason i'm not voting for Lack in the next few threads.
I guess the "new toy" effect, just kinda pushes the fact the prospect(s) really aren't prospects anymore as the closer you are to making the team, the least likely you'll get votes. Corrado is of course somewhat of an exception since he jumped from Jr. to pretty much being on the team late in the season.
The poll is timed to end at 1:39 pm tomorrow and Hunter is leading by 10. Not sure why a tiebreaker would be needed if that holds up.
