Before I cast my own votes for the Winter T25, I said that the drafting of Axel Rindell was the move by Kyle Dubas that seemed designed to make this exercise really hard this time. Most people didn’t see it that way.
Rindell’s most common vote in the community ranking was 35. And because of his age — the community list started out oldest to youngest — he was 27th on the list, so people had to actively pick others over him or shove him down.
On the PPP list, he appeared as an honourable mention, ranked 27th, and with five voters putting him on the list.
