Hello all,
It's that slow time in the offseason again, which is between the draft/free agency and the start of training camp. To help pass the time (and trying to distract myself from the kidney stone tearing me up), we'll do our annual NHL Prospect Ranking.
If you are unfamiliar with how things go:
- I will begin with a list of 10 prospects who may not align perfectly with my exact top-10 list, but ones where I think there's more interest and enthusiasm.
- Your votes will be public, and you get one vote in the poll
- You are encouraged to mention who should go on the list next
- I won't vote on any of them, except if it's needed as a tiebreaker
- As always, discussion is half the fun, so feel free to talk it out.
- Feel free to use any criteria you want. It's your vote after all. Some general factors others have used: NHL readiness, upside, role, likelihood to make the NHL, tradability value, or any combination of the above factors.
- I'll start with 48-hour long polls, I'll eventually reduce it to 24 hours as the discussions and participation/voting decreases
- The criteria I am using for this particular poll is Calder Trophy eligibility. Please note there are plenty of other different criteria which can be used (ie, under 23, < 50 games played, etc). The list of those eligible to add will be at the bottom. Now, this criteria may be very strict and make the team look worse due to younger players who no longer match the criteria... but this is what I always use, and will stick with it due to continuity. These are the requirements for Calder Trophy eligibility:
1. Must be under 26 years old by September 15
2. Cannot have played more than 25 games in a single season OR at least 6 games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league
The following players were removed from last year's list last year due to making these criteria or no longer being part of the system:
Clarke, Brandt - D (Games Played)
Doyle, Braden - D (Not Signed)
Fagemo, Samuel - F (Games Played)
Laferriere, Alex - F (Games Played)
Markkanen, Juho - G (Not Signed)
Meehan, Ben - D (Not Signed)
Moverare, Jacob - D (Games Played)
Nousiainen, Kim - D (Not Signed)
Simontaival, Kasper - F (Not Signed)
Turcotte, Alex - F (Games Played)
Ward, Taylor - F (Age)
Here is the list of prospects eligible to be added (sorted alphabetically by last name).
Booth, Angus
Chromiak, Martin
Conmy, Ryan
Helenius, Samuel
Hughes, Jack
Kirsanov, Kirill
Krygier, Cole
Lawrence, Kaleb
Madden, Tyler
Mania, Matthew
Pinelli, Francesco
Reeder, James
Salin, Otto
Sparkes, Jack
Shafigullin, Bulat
Woolley, Jared
Wright, Jared
