I'm intrigued to see where a guy like Ramage comes into this list ...
Rough start to his AHL career, but then dominates in the ECHL playoffs. Where does that put him on a path in a pro career? Has he turned his game?
Guessing he doesn't make the top 20

Went with Wotherspoon this time. Not the flashiest, but looks rock solid and only seems to improve over time.

Don't think Granlund should be this high. If he turns out to be a poor man's Mikael Granlund I'll be thrilled. I see him as a versatile forward who can line up anywhere but is not a clear cut top six. I have him neck-and-neck with Reinhart, but I put a few guys ahead of both of them.

This round is less of a competition than I thought. Thought it would be a close 3-way battle between Granlund/Klimchuk/Wotherspoon.

Klimchuk needs more votes - it should be closer between he and Granlund than the poll shows right now. I just think Klimchuk's upside is a little higher than Granlund's.

I have him outside my top 20 but there's a part of me that thinks he'll have a good NHL career with absolutely no fanfare - a 5/6 defenseman who steps up when the games really matter a la Andrew Ference

This was close for me between Klimchuk and Granlund. I like Granlund as he's been better than advertised but I can't help but think that Klimchuk is the best Flames prospect that nobody ever talks about. I've heard a lot of good stuff about him from people around the WHL and think that he's going to open up some eyes next season.

Klimchuk won at 5 by a landslide on HF

At this point in time (and things are always subject to change) I think Ortio is the best of the rest. Very tough call though. Lots of good talent in the mix.

Has to be Granlund. I think he's slightly underrated by the fan base, but after this season, he won't be.

There's not much of a gap between Poirier and Klimchuk, so it's weird to me we are collectively slotting Granlund in between them - I feel like putting him above both or below both is reasonable, but in between isn't really self-consistent.

Klimchuk is hurt by his injury problems since his draft, especially missing last year's training camp.
Poirier was healthy and impressed in his limited time with the Heat, and Granlund had a very impressive first pro season in N.A.
Klimchuk is just lower since we have not seen as much of him but I would not be surprised if Klimchuk is a top 3 prospect next year.

When did round 4 happen? Talk about erratic timing with these polls.

Yesterday. Nothing erratic besides the fact we skipped doing them on the weekend.

I thought this would be a much closer battle between Wotherspoon and Granlund than it is. Excited for both, but I went with Wotherspoon.

Yesterday...
Round 5 - Thursday at 10am
Round 4 - Wednesday at 11am
Round 3 - Tuesday at 10am
Round 2 - Monday at 9am
Round 1 - Friday at 9am
Seems far from erratic. In fact, I'm willing to guess we might see Round 6 tomorrow around 9/10am.

It felt like rounds 1 and 2 were up much longer than the rest.
I actually had thought it'd be a weekly thing. Nvm I guess!

Voted Granlund due to what he's proved in his first year as a pro over the others.

HF posters are not too bright.
Klimchuk and Granlund have similar upside (2nd liners), but Granlund has proven himself at a higher level so he ranks higher for me.

After the first two of Bennett and Gaudreau, I'm going with the top four from the Heat as they are the closest and most probable of making the NHL. For me it's Wotherspoon, Ortio, Granlund and Reinhart in that order but of course there are good arguments for all of these players.
Poirier, Gillies and Klimchuk are just too far away and we don't really know what we've got yet.
