People give first place, second place votes etc..

I look at like we all have a list of where we think prospects are, if we combined those lists, what would the rankings be? Voting for players multiple times skews that.
The way that this ranking is selected makes more sense to get an overall sense of who the best prospect is per CP's opinion. It's logical to me to continuously pick the guy who you consider the best remaining on the table until he's gone then and not simply because you had him #3 or #4 on your overall list. We're making a ranking list - not comparing ranking lists.

If for example after Gaudreau and Bennett - I felt instead of Granlund or Poirier I believed Klimchuk deserved to be #3, and Poirier went instead, would it make sense to not pick Klimchuk the next chance I get, if I felt he was the best?
