This is not a poll about NHL readiness.

Sorry, I've got too many things in my life to get excited about a player I won't see for another 2-3 years.  Look what happened to Noesen.  Gone, just like that.

And it's not just NHL readiness but also team need.  We desperately need that RHS D-man and Ceci not only does that, but he's very gifted offensively.  And we all know that defense can be taught moreso than offense.

I voted first for Pageau - because, you can't graduate a guy who played 9 regular season games, then 10 playoff games.  He's still 100% a prospect - and for all we know, he could come out flat next season and be sent back to the AHL.

As for Ceci, I have him next, but to me Prince has an enormous upside and I think this is a kid who can bang on the door to the NHL and perhaps get a couple of long call ups next season.

I voted Lazar 2nd, but really, he could have gone first.  Having the Edmonton play by play guy saying he's one of the best players he's seen in that uniform is a pretty big compliment.  Having the GM of the Oil Kings, Bob Green, saying he's the best player he's ever had, goes a long, long way as well:

Lazar is the real deal.  He has character, he hits, he drives the net, he's a leader and he scores.  He probably should have been my number one, but I love Pageau's hands and hockey sense.

So if you had Pageau first, I assume that's who you voted.  Then you say you had Ceci next, but you clearly voted Lazar.

And I think (not 100% sure) that I was the first one who voted Ceci, and given your Prince comments, I take it you voted Prince?

So where does Ceci, who is next, fit?  I don't understand you.

Prager, nowhere did I see something that said that filling out the survey was compulsory for all members; if you have too many things going on or you're not interested, you don't have to hang out at this poll

I think Prags is just a little touchy after learning how much money he was throwing away with Rogers.
