After days upon days of voting, Michael St. Croix beat Cristoval Nieves by a single vote in the tie-breaker round. This vote was cast with literally minutes to go. It's not fair to make one a second-tier prospect and the other a project, they deserve to be in the same category. Therefore, our second-tier will go to #11.
Cam Talbot and Peter Ceresnak added to the next poll because they were the two with the most votes.

I'm surprised Yoggi isn't getting any votes at this stage. He's not a great prospect and I always felt he was overrated when we kept ranking him in the top-10 as recently as this summer when he came in at #9, but the guys we are voting to place in the poll are going to be at the bottom of our top-20, and he surely should be there. I say he has a better shot at an NHL career than Ceresnak, and a similar shot to Foggy.

Does Ceresnak legitimately have a chance at getting a ELC?
Does Ceresnak legitimately have a chance at getting a ELC?
Even if he does, he'll likely start in the ECHL next season, whereas Yoggi is an AHLer. He was sent down to the ECHL because he couldn't handle the super-charged AHL that had some NHLers and a lot of borderliner NHLers who would normally go back and forth. But as soon as the lockout was over, he was called back up. Yoggi is a more legitimate prospect than Ceresnak.

Judicious decision.
IMO we are still closer to prospects than projects, though with the next pick we are going from a second tier to a third tier.
A few more and we get into project territory.
Crap. Great Point about Yogan, Beacon. Can't believe I forgot him - and I've been one if his biggest advocates sin e he was drafted. Change my add from Spelling to Yogan.
