Sure they are. THN houses a staff of writers who are paid to watch prospects. That's an aggregate list? Hockeys future uses aggregate lists from each team HF forum, as well as their own reports to generate their rankings. People here were hearing comments from people watching development camp and were persuaded that Jankowski was better than all other prospects.

How many CP users post in the prospect thread during the regular season? It's a ghost town outside of a small group. This subject is strictly a niche sub-hockey field that only the hardcores who actually follow MORE than the NHL can contribute to, but the polls are not, so they're swung by popular vote, just as we see in every type of public poll. Was John Scott all-star caliber as a result of aggregate say?
