We're about ready to rework our top twenty-five prospect list [found on the front page on the left sidebar] and in doing so, the staff here at The Copper & Blue would like your take on who we should crown #1. We've come to a consensus that eight players have seperated themselves from the pack and could be in the running for the number one slot. Below the jump are the stats for each candidate using the outstanding work of Gabriel Desjardins and his NHL Equivalency models. Vote for the prospect you see as the brightest light in the system and tell us why you voted that way in the comments.
