Tuesday's FTB: Finally the T25 is Back

It's T25 time around here. Because I wanted to push the entire event into August – which is when we used to do it back in old days – we're a bit pressed for time to start. But consider this your orientation:

The eligibility list is here:

All the posts going back to the earliest days are here:

Today the Community Vote will go live, and you will have until the end of the week to vote – let's say Sunday morning I'll close it out. I'll give you a warning in advance, but most people vote in the first few days.

The deadline to vote in the official vote is tight this year. The sooner everyone is done, the sooner I get to do the compilation and get the earliest posts ready.

If you want to vote in the official vote, send an email on the contact email (in the footer on any page). Preference will be given to people who have done this before. I found this a difficult vote to make decisions on, so be advised, you'll need some knowledge of the "who?" section of the prospect list. We will limit the voters to about 5 or 6 guests, so get in quickly.

You are obligated to vote, and do nothing else. If you would like, we love it if you write short blurbs about yourself and then about any of the top 25 prospects you have thoughts about. I consider reading these bits the very best part of the T25.

Because time is short, you will be asked to write a blurb (very short) about yourself as soon as you are chosen to vote.

In other words, you must have some free time this week to vote and then over the next few weeks to write blurbs.

There is one rule: you may not give away the vote results.

Okay, that's that for now, onto the news. Uh....

The Ducks signed Sam Colangelo to a low price deal. I don't actually know who that is. There were no trades in the NHL this weekend.

Jimmy "that did not go well in Toronto" Vesey is going to Switzerland.
