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 or upside the highest, others may weigh NHL readiness 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!): LINK HERE
NOTES:
– Prospect criteria will be defined using the NHL Guidelines.
– After last season'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.

Now the voting gets more difficult, it really depends on what you see as the most critical need for the team

It’s Time for Falco – Rock – Me – Amadeus Lombardi. Came back from Injury very strong last year, trickier and fiestier along the boards than his size alone would indicate, brings a needed explosiveness that the wings lack in the bottom 6, and my darkhorse to make the team out of camp and or play significant minutes with the wings this season.
Still lots of good options. I’m stuck between Lambo and AnJo.
