Have seen these styles of polls to rank players on other forums so I thought I would give this a try. Am taking this season more serious than ever. The Dobber community has been an big part of my recent success so I trust your guys input. Thanks everyone!

I really like this!
At the end of the process, we'll have a forum consensus ranking.
That's great because it eliminates personal biases.
Thanks for doing this!
Voted Risto, Krug, Keith, Yandle and Shatt.
Ghost, Pietrangelo and Werenski could well be in the winner column too...

Some tight races and about 9.5 hours of voting left. Not really any surprises with these picks

Top four for me were pretty cut and dry (Risto, Krug, Pietrangelo, Yandle). The fifth was tougher and I begrudgingly went with Shattenkirk, who I think will be not nearly as good as most believe.
