I wonder, though, how many of the Ferland supporters would break for Knight next (or vice-versa) vs. someone like Kulak? I would rather see the run-off decide the winner of round 14, and then the remaining contenders drop back into the pool for round 15 voting.
We are using the run-off to see where the "other voters" sit based on a head-to-head contest, but to declare the second-place finisher in a head-to-head match-up as the winner of the next run makes some assumptions about where the supporters of the head-to-head winner would (or would not) vote next.
Perhaps the votes would break for the second-place finisher next anyway, but that isn't guaranteed, IMO. For example, there were probably more than a few Gillies or Ortio supporters who wouldn't have voted for a goalie in back-to-back rounds.
I say put it to vote!
