RULES: Each poll will remain open for 2 days. In the case of a tie within the top 10, I'll create a 1-day runoff poll to decide the winner. Ties outside of the top 10 will be left as ties. For each additional poll, I will add the most commented next to add prospect.

​

ELIGIBILITY: All players whose rights are held by the Buffalo Sabres and who are eligible to win the Calder Trophy for the 2022-23 season are eligible inclusion. That means a prospect is eligible if--

• He is under age 26 (as of September 15, 2022);
• He has played no more than 25 games in any single preceding season; and
• He has not played 6 or more games in each of any two or more preceding seasons.

Nuts that Nadeau and Bloom dropped from last year after having great seasons that I'm sure nobody here is disappointed with. This pool is insanely deep.

[Matt Ress]

There's a guy on the board that could very well see some NHL games this year and he probably won't win this round.

 

[Zman5778]

Leinonen very, very easily here.

There's a guy on the board that could very well see some NHL games this year and he probably won't win this round.

Two potentially - Weissbach and Cederqvist.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Arguably the top 4 on this list could be in the 12-15 range. And I have high hopes for Jake Richard, after that prospect's camp showing.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Cederqvist again. Now bring on Joel Savage

 

[elchud]

Id have Lyckasen over a few of these guys.

I've 4 of them as legit NHL caliber prospects.

Went Leinonen, guess we are done adding which is fine. Great job on these polls everyone!
