  3. Konsta Helenius, F (76/118, 64.4%) (NR). Runner up: Noah Ostlund.


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: Viktor Neuchev, Olivier Nadeau, Prokhor Poltapov, Alexander Kisakov, Ethan Miedema, Tyler Tulio, Tyson Kozak, Lukas Rousek, Viljami Marjala, Jake Richard, Matteo Costantini, Aaron Huglen, William von Barnekow, Gustav Karlsson, Stiven Sardaryan, Linus Sjodin, Vasili Zelenov, Joel Berndtsson
  • Defensemen: Gavin McCarthy, Simon-Pier Brunet, Luke Osburn, Patrick Geary, Shane Keohane, Norwin Panocha
  • Goalies: Scott Ratzlaff, Topias Leinonen, Ryerson Leenders

Ostlund, but there is a cluster after 1/2. I struggle with evaluating most ready, most important to org, most upside, and most recent.

Edit - add Poltapov.

When it’s all said and done, does Kisakov or Persson have the better AHL career?

Wahlberg. Konsta/Noah is shaping up like Benson/Savoie. I don’t know if there is room for two smallish centers. Wahlberg has something we have little of in the pipeline.

Kisakov probably going home after this season if he doesn’t take a major step. And likely won’t with the log jam of talent projected in ROC

Could be. He is the guy who came over early and has been credited by Apps as part of the crew helping acclimate the other Russians.

Out in LA
For a rookie fresh out of UoMinn who played in 41 games last season, and was maybe expected to get a sniff in Buffalo, Ryan Johnson sure ain't getting enough love in here.
It's true, but his disappointing finish in Roch has definitely tarnished a bit of his luster. He could easily jump back up a few spots in the fall. We have a LOT of good prospects right now.
