What expectations would you have for them this year?
Klimchuck to put up 50 goals 100 pts in 60 CHL games?
Poirier and/or Baertschi to score 20 goals 50 pts in the AHL in 40 games before joining the Flames for good?
That was what I and I think the bulk of CP and Flames management were expecting from Baertschi when he was sent down... After all he was our clear cut best prospect (82%) after Monahan who went straight to the NHL.

I don't think blaming people who don't agree with your rankings as voting because of hype is really analysis.
As for some you seem to have a problem with:
I would say Poirier did exceed expectations of many because of his overall play and ability to produce on a team with not a lot of help. He also showed a well rounded game rather than just pure offense which is encouraging going forward.
I think for him and Klimchuk (and any guy who was just drafted) living up to expectations and showing dvelopment is a big step forward and moves you up the list because there wasn't much of a track record to go off of the year before.
Yes going off last year Granlund is ahead fo Baertschi but this isn't based solely on last year and it is pretty short sighted to base it on that. Most people who voted for Baertschi have said that this is a make it or break it year and that he still gets some benefit of the doubt based on the natural skill he has shown which he should. And while it was nice the season that Granlund had last year he had some pretty average seasons before that.
For Gillies didn't meet expectations at all (and was way over ranked last season). He had a really bad WJHC and seemed to have similar year to last for his NCAA team.
