RULES: Each poll will remain open for 2 days. In the case of a tie within the top 10, I'll create a 24-hour runoff poll to decide the winner. Ties outside of the top 10 will just be left as ties. Each new poll, I will add the most commented "next to add" prospect (or the top 2 for ties outside of the top 10).

ELIGIBILITY:
All players who meet the HF prospect criteria are included. A prospect is eligible for inclusion if--
  • He has not yet completed his age 24 season and has no more than 65 games played (skater) or 45 games played (goalie); or
  • If signed from a European league or the NCAA at age 22 or older, he has played no more than 65 games (skater) or 45 games (goalie) within 3 years of signing, regardless of age.
  • Note: Olofsson's eligibility is based on the 22+ signing rule. Had Covid not cut last season short, he would've graduated out of eligibility, but, as it stands, he's got 5 games of "prospect" status remaining. As much as I agree with many of you that he isn't really a prospect any more, the eligibility criteria sets a bright-line rule that I'm going to stick to.
NEXT TO ADD: Comment the player you want to see added to the next poll. The following prospects are eligible to be added:
  • Forwards: Matteo Constantini, Linus Weissbach, Brandon Biro, Filip Cederqvist, Aaron Huglen, Jakub Konecny, Vasili Glotov, Dawson DiPietro, Andrew Oglevie
  • Defensemen: Miska Kukkonen, Linus Cronholm, Albert Lyckasen, Casey Fitzgerald, Philip Nyberg, William Worge Krue
 
I'm all aboard the Pekar train here. High-energy, gritty play style with some skill gives him the best floor/ceiling combo of the remaining prospects IMO.

I like them all almost equally - Samuelsson, Bryson, Pekar

Went Pekar here because he just laughs at you when you're trying to punch him in the face.

I went Pekar here too. He seems like he would do anything to make it in the NHL. He brings some feistiness that this teams sorely needs. He was one of the stars of the 2018 development camp.

Metaj Pekar admits he likes to be the "annoying guy" on the ice that gets under everybody's skin.

Prospect Matej Pekar is transitioning nicely in Sudbury
 
I've been pretty disconnected from following our prospects, and i was never that high on him to begin with, but is Will Borgen not the second coming anymore?

In a normal year with the AHL and NHL seasons he would likely be one of the first defensive call ups. Probably would have been last season if Botts didn’t hoard 9 NHL dmen.

But with the possibility of “taxi squads” or extra roster players for the NHL season. Borgen may be one of the extra players. hard to say with so much up in the air.


Not sure what “the second coming” stuff is about. Posters were excited about him because he’s a physical defensive dman who can skate and make a good first pass. Plus his toughness was frequently favorably contrasted with Risto faux tough guy act.

I remember there previously being a lot more excitement about him (which I generally never really understood, hence my snark), but he seems almost an afterthought at this point.
