Get everyone to vote who each team will pick and then see what's left at four.

Is it scientic? Lord no.

But at least it's grounded.
I get it, but I think it's human nature that in any population, a certain amount of "wishful thinking" infiltrates the results in these types of polls. Bennett is the popular choice among Flames fans due to his style, the comparisons to Gilmour, and the tire pumping from Monahan. The results are probably strongly influenced and manufactured from that bias.
