Before we hit the top 25 this week, the Community Vote unranked have to be revealed. Due to the nature of the voting process, it's very rare for any player to go unranked entirely, since the votes can go right down to 38. However, for the purposes of vote tabulation, anything over a 25th ranking is treated the same. This matches how the Official Vote works.

If absolutely no one ranked a player at all his weighted average would be 26. The closest to that this year was 25.62, so everyone had at least one vote at 25 or more.

Unranked

Ryan Fellinger

Newly drafted, and getting just one vote on the Official Vote, Fellinger was very seriously voted off the list by most of the voters:

Matthew Lahey

Last year's seventh rounder got enough votes to hit 25.24 in average ranking.

This chart reveals the major difference between the two votes. One or two votes in the teens on the Official Vote gets a player up over the line and in the Top 25. In this vote, it takes a lot more volume to overcome the consensus. When there is a consensus, that is. Sometimes there isn't.

Matthew Hlacar

Newly drafted and one year overaged, this player got some attention, just not very much. His weighted average was 25.16.

He also had a lot of votes just putting him last.

Alexander Plesovskikh

Ranked low on the Official Vote, Plesovskikh got almost no attention for a ranking of 25.04.

Blake Smith

Unranked on both lists, Smith hit 24.8.

This is the first player (looking up from the bottom) who got real attention and rankings.

Timofei Obvintsev

The goalie everyone forgets until the T25 hit 24.58 in ranking.

That big bar at 26 is really interesting. Oh, and now's the time to remind everyone that the y-axis changes to make the histograms fit in the image.

Nathan Mayes

Unranked on both lists, Mayes got some consideration to get to 24.20.

William Belle

At 23.98, Belle was considered about as seriously as Mayes.

Joe Miller

At 23.80, Joe Miller sneaked over Belle in average, but the vote looks very different.

That's what no consensus looks like.

Breaden Kressler

Ranked at 23.55, this OHL free agent is coming close to the bottom of the list.

In what is more like a split consensus than the one above, some people rated Kressler in the thick of the ranking showing that for the full set of community voters, there is a big group that overlaps the 25th spot this year.

Harry Nansi

At 23.34, Nansi also had fans.

Note the y-axis. Nansi also had a lot of people who left him last. In his case, as the youngest player on the list, he started out in spot 38, so a lot of people just left him there.

Hudson Malinoski

At a ranking of 22.78, Malinoski is well in range of the player who came 25th. That player was ranked at 22.54.

Sam McCue

He almost made it. Ranked 22.62, McCue was the 26th player on the vote tabulation.

And that's the Community unranked this year. You'll get to see the top three Community Votes this weekend.
