Now that we’re past the draft and free agency it’s time for the yearly /r/DetroitRedWings prospect ranking thread! A new poll will be posted every 2-3 days depending on how close the voting is until we finish the top 15 prospects. I’ll include 10~ prospects every poll and will add one new prospect after each poll so discuss in the comments below who you feel should be added next.
Check out the subreddit’s previous rankings here (starting from 2018!): [LINK](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qmkO8YqMlR7TzWDaaWu9yMWKnIDTwNNe/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112624943015473579853&rtpof=true&sd=true)
**NOTE**: Prospect criteria will be defined using the [NHL Guidelines](https://www.nhl.com/info/hockey-operations-guidelines).
**Candidates to be added next**: Tuomisto, Viro, Niederbach, Hanas, Buium, Savage, Dower-Nilsson(s), James, Buchelnikov, Augustine, Gibson

Wait this isn’t Alex Debrincat news…
Figured now is as good of a time as any to start the polls! Always a highlight of the offseason. First one tends to go quick so I’ll post #2 this weekend sometime
Simon feels pretty clear
Amadeus Lombardi
Edit never mind lol
This is my favorite thing we do in the offseason.
Seeing zadina number 1 two years in a row .. oh how the turn tables
Edvinsson and it ain’t that close
Also thoughts on displaying results?
Debating ‘not public’ (until the next poll) VS ‘public after voting’
Can’t go wrong with Edvinsson or Kasper here
Can anyone else not see results?
This one’s clearly Edvinsson, it gets a little murky in the next couple rankings.
Some blasts from the past I’m there. Remember our goalie savior Keith Pertruzzi?
Edvinsson, and its not even close. 2nd shouldn’t be ether tbh, but i have a sneaky feeling…
What does NR mean?
I feel like Hanas should be higher after seeing him play in Grand Rapids last season.
Also it seems unclear whether we still count Berggren and Soderblom as prospects. Bergers at least is off yes?
I think it’s Kasper for sure. He was so impressive in the SHL last year. I have high hopes for Edvinsson as well, but I think it will take him longer to adapt to the pro game.
Is this best prospect currently or best potential
Damn we have a tooonnnnnn of great prospects
