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 let stand 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 2024-25 season are eligible inclusion. That means a prospect is eligible if--
  • He is under age 26 (as of September 15, 2024);
  • 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.

NEXT TO ADD: Comment the player you want to see added to the next poll. The following players are eligible:
  • Forwards: Olivier Nadeau, Ethan Miedema, Tyler Tulio, Matteo Costantini, Aaron Huglen, William von Barnekow, Gustav Karlsson, Stiven Sardaryan, Linus Sjodin, Vasili Zelenov, Joel Berndtsson
  • Defensemen: Simon-Pier Brunet, Luke Osburn, Patrick Geary, Shane Keohane, Norwin Panocha

His statistical output looks pretty strong for his age and league. Did you watch him much last season? Thoughts about how he plays?

I did see him a few times and thought he played well. The glut of small offensive guys in front of him is probably the biggest impediment to him at the moment, but I could see him coming over to at least be a 2nd line AHLer and who knows, maybe it all clicks for him.

I want to say Kozak but I don't think he can stay healthy. I'll say Poltapov because maybe he can carve out something as a 4th line crash and bang winger.

I used to be much higher on Rousek, but with another year gone and the Sabres rebuilding their bottom 6, I really do not see him becoming an NHL regular in this organization. I went with Poltapov.

Add Sardaryan (again). I liked his prospect camp a lot - thought he really stood out, and I expect a big season out of him after the transfer to U of N.MI. He was listed as a Sophomore at UNH last season and is 21 - so there is still some runway for him to develop.
