...how does this work? I mean, if we can do some kind of "instant runoff" type selection for Next Prospect Up, or offer two preferences, I'd want to revise my vote accordingly.

I think in general you're underweighting youth. Guys like Heatherington have run themselves out of room - while guys like Peeke have years of development ahead where they can develop into something unexpected. I don't expect much from Peeke (going by Jarmo's luck with second round D he'll never make it), but if you're looking for someone who has at least a shot at becoming a good top 4 D Peeke is a better bet than Heatherington, simply because he's 18 and there's a wider range of possibility (that and he has better skating and puck skills).

By the same principle Kolesar, going into his 19 year old season, should be much higher on this list.

The youth thing isn't necessary very good thing to have analysis rising from when the other geezers have just turned 21 or 22 while being far more accomplished. Especially when you haven't still made it.

I think you're valid on Peeke v. Heatherington. As for Kolesar, everything I've seen/read about him over the last year makes me worry he's too volatile. I really don't think he'll pan out. It seemed like every post I saw about him was another suspension, but maybe I'm remembering completely wrong.

Due to the fact I can't find anything substantiating it after several searches, I'd say I'm wrong. Apologies, ladies and gents.
