Last month, some of Fear the Fin’s impeccable writing staff submitted a ballot of the NHL’s 25 best players under the age of 25, as part of SB Nation’s network-wide countdown. We, for one, welcome the final rankings as written by our SB Nation overlords, but wanted to be helpful and release the rankings as voted on by ourwriting staff.
In order to be eligible, players had to be no older than 24 on August 1, 2017. SB Nation’s writers and 21 of SB Nation’s NHL blogs (including ourselves) submitted ballots. Our ballot was determined by taking each individual writer’s ballot, and averaging the placement of each player.
