We'll have a post listing the final vote order as well, but this post is just to recap the top four choices on each list.
Official Vote
The four players at the top of the T25 have a combined 171 games of regular season NHL play.
4 Joe Woll
Ranked between third and eighth, it's clear we're not clear on Woll's future performance.
Adam Selvig
He finished with a weighted average ranking of 4.8, almost a full point over Conor Timmins, so there was a clear step up to the top four.
3 Nick Robertson
Brian S
Ranked between third and sixth, Robertson finished with 4.5 in average ranking, showing no clear distinction between his spot and Woll's.
2 Timothy Liljegren
Brian S
Accounting for most of those NHL games played listed above, Liljegren was a unanimous second place choice. His average of two, no weighting required, jumps from the player below by the second highest amount.
1 Matt Knies
Cathy Squires
The newest player to the NHL is the unanimous choice as the Leafs best young player.
Community Vote
The Community Vote ended last week with Pontus Holmberg at fifth with a ranking of 7.9. Four players have to get from that number to the top ranking.
4 Nick Robertson
With an average ranking of 6.44, Nick Robertson is closer to the five and below set on the community list than on the official list.
Most people actually ranked him lower that fourth, but with enough votes close behind that to vault him up over Holmberg and Niemelä. The three can be said to be a group fairly evenly ranked on the community list.
3 Joe Woll
The community ranked Woll at 5.04, very close to the average of the official list.
The spread in ranking is similar to the official list, and Woll clearly is the choice above Robertson. Again, note the y-axis of the last two charts.
2 Timothy Liljegren
The average ranking for Timothy Liljegren on this vote is 2.92, which sounds much less unanimous.
A very small number of first-place votes and a tiny tail off to the right of other votes was what it took to move the average off of two.
1 Matt Knies
The main difference between the two lists is that the official vote finishes at a ranking of one, and the community list only gets to 1.9.
Okay, that's pretty close to unanimous, but it is a little surprising that everyone in the top four and some shown last week got first-place votes. But then Auston Matthews was never unanimous on the community vote either.
