Justin Braun comes in as the 2nd best prospect in the pool, winning with 45% of votes. This pulls him up 6 spots from the 2010 rankings, where he finished 8th.
Also curiously several prospects who people voted for in the #1 spot didn't get votes for the #2 spot.

Poll rules:
Eligibility: Prospects are eligible for the polls if they are 25 years of age or younger, have played less than 30 NHL games in their careers to this point, and are not expected to be regular parts of the NHL roster this year. Yes, this means that Thomas Greiss is back on the list after being off last year when he was projected as the backup goaltender prior to the Niemi signing.
1) each poll will have 14 player options, plus an "other" vote. If you vote for "other" you
must indicate in a post who you are intending to put forth as your selection for it (and it must be a player found on the future poll eligibility list below). Any "other" votes that are not accompanied by a post indicating who you are voting for will be voided.
2) When you vote, you must also post and indicate who you wish to have added to the next poll. The player with the most nominations will be added to the next ranking spot's poll options.
3) Polls will be open for 48 hours. (I've found that during the summer, voting tends to peter out after a couple days, and 90% of the time the voters who miss out in two-day windows aren't usually enough to impact the result)
4) If after 30 votes have been cast, any prospect holds a 15 vote or greater lead on the next closest competitor, the poll will be closed early and the current front-runner will be declared the winner.
5) In the event a poll closes with a tie, a 24 hour tiebreak poll will be opened with only the tied players available as an option.
