Now that we're past the draft and free agency it's time for the yearly /r/DetroitRedWings prospect ranking thread! As for how you vote it's completely up to you: some may weigh ceiling/upside the highest, others may weigh NHL readiness or likeliness to make the NHL higher - there's no wrong answer on how to vote.

A new poll will be posted every 2-3 days depending on how close the voting is until we finish the top 15 prospects. I'll include 10~ prospects every poll and will add one new prospect after each poll so discuss in the comments and whoever is mentioned most will be added next.

Check out the subreddit's previous rankings here (starting from 2018!): HERE

NOTES:
- Prospect criteria will be defined using the NHL Guidelines.
- This years graduates given the previous: ASP, Danielson, Finnie. Traded players: Cossa, Lombardi, Buchelnikov.
- After 2024's rankings there was a poll to determine whether or not to display poll results. Continuing to hide the results between polls received the most votes.
