2022 Prospect Poll Runoff

It'll be even funnier when he signs in Buffalo.

We will need to go back and re-do the entire summer 2022 polls.

Everyone keep detailed notes on how you feel about these prospects at this exact moment.

Finding humor in the months upon months if not years of posts featuring overreaction to NCAA players potentially going UFA proving pointless?

Or we just keep doing a semi-annual poll?

Let us know.

Are Johnson voters assuming he's signing here? We all agreed 2 months ago that was a big assumption.

I do not think whether or not you think he will sign should have any bearing when assessing where he is at on the path to being a valuable NHL player. To me Rosen is still a boom or bust candidate with a high cieling AND low floor. Johnson is years ahead in development, so we know more of what he will be, with a lower cieling than Rosen, but a much higher floor at this point. He is close to a lock to become an NHL defenseman. Probably a good third pair, serviceable second pair. If I am an NHL GM and can freely take one of the 2 for my team, I am taking Johnson.

We're projecting their careers: I'm projecting Rosen as a good middle 6 winger with PP attributes while I'm projecting johnson as a middle 2 defender with limited offensive capabilities on some other team.

Just so that nobody is confused that voting is based on tin foil hat fear of losing an NCAA prospect or a shot block.

That's fine. I'm taking their future into account. We all have different criteria and that's what makes these polls interesting.

Agreed. I voted for Johnson, even though I am of the opinion he will not sign with the Sabres. I am strongly betting he goes wherever his father and agent feel he has the best chance to jump straight to the NHL.

For this season it probably makes sense just to restart the polls every time something is tweeted about Johnson or Portillo and their possible decision.
