First tie breaker. 24 hour poll. Winner take all. Loser will not automatically get #12.

Big Adam Edstrom.

Skates well, can get nasty, has some skill, can play basically anywhere including center and both wings (but really he's a wing), etc. He has been playing in the SHL for over four years and is coming off a career year. He may be better suited for NA than the SHL.

I like Barbashev and how he plays, but his path to the NHL is less clear for me.

Edstrom, Barbs, Forte, Chmelar... just but them into a random order generator, get 4 new prospect adds, and let's move on to the #15 prospect poll.

I'm going to echo what 2k said. I don't see the skill ceiling (or floor) with Barbashev that makes me go "this is an NHLer". At the very least, i see Edstrom being a 4th liner. His awareness, physicality, and overall style of play suggest that to me. I don't see Top 9 upside there though

Well then, this is a huge blowout, probably will just start the next poll overnight.

Edstrom.

Barbashev still too high

Edstrom the right answer and probably won last round anyway. Barbashev just has the meme team. But at this stage of the rankings don’t really care too much
