Still expecting 40+ points from these dmen:
Leddy
Gardiner
Suter
Fowler
Parayko

[RizzeeDizzee]

It's getting tougher, but in the end I feel like these five guys separated themselves from the pack:

Leddy - cemented spot and still young
Gardiner - will get tons of plum offensive minutes on a top flight scoring team
Seabrook - will still likely be a PP1 fixture and doesn't have two bad seasons in a row
Giordano - yes he's getting older, but he actually was playing very well toward the end of the season (17 points in his last 24 games)
Ellis - 5x4 with Josi and great nose for goals

[PenguinHunter]

I voted for:

Fowler
Leddy
Parayko
Suter
Ellis

Sorry that I missed voting over the weekend!

[RizzeeDizzee]

Sorry to hijack, but I see that Trouba and Ellis are tied at the moment and they'll just so happen to be covered in this week's cage match, so stay tuned.

[Mr. Guru]

Nick Leddy
Jake Gardiner
Ryan Suter
Jacob Trouba
Cam Fowler

They should all get 40+ish

[Eskimo Brother]

My votes went to Trouba, Ellis, Parayko, McDonagh and Ekblad. I think all will be above 40 points this season.
Everyone on this list has warts, but I went with the higher ceilings in order to try and have one method of picking names out of the proverbial hat.

[lucafen4]

Giordano, Ellis, Trouba, Suter, Gardiner

[StuntMan12]

Impressed by the voter turnout! This is awesome. This is where picks get important too.

[lucafen4]

I've never heard of this Jacob TrouPa though?

[Eskimo Brother]

I've never heard of this Jacob TrouPa though?

I liked the name so I thought I would give him a pity vote

[StuntMan12]

I've never heard of this Jacob TrouPa though?

oops sorry guys jacob trouba -winnipeg jets

[StuntMan12]

Is there interest in a top 50 forward list? If someone wants they could use the same set up as this. I'd start it but i feel bad for making so many threads as it is

Could also make polling last 2 days to get more votes in (could get around 50 votes per poll maybe?), got a ways to go before season starts and we could still have lots of discussion

thought this crossed with a star wars thread

Each day since you started the serie of polls, I come here to vote.
I really like to follow the evolution of the polls as the day pass.
You shouldn't feel bad for making a lot of threads. You post great stuff here.
And if you start a foward rangking poll serie, I think 30+ posts per day is good enough to keep the 1-day limit to vote.
Very relevant.
Thanks!
