The top 15 is complete! The final round was tied there for a little while, thought we'd need to have our first tiebreaker but in the end Finnie won by about +10 votes.

Fun fact, the 2nd place choice won the next poll every time. It was pretty close for Mazur/Johansson (1 vote separated them in the Augustine poll) and Finnie/Kiiskinen (1 vote separated them in the Lombardi poll).
Does Soderblom still fit in the Wings plans or has he been passed by too many other prospects? I’m pulling for the guy he could be a monster on the ice if he puts it all together.
Good for Finnie getting the last spot. Full disclosure though that I am very iffy on Soderblom’s ability to cement himself in our future. The roster is more crowded than it was when he got drafted and I’m not certain he can produce in a big enough way to force himself up. It could go either way. I’m 50/50 on him getting an extension as it stands today.
Ok so now we can do a poll to rank the strongest to weakest prospect pools by year.
