Is PPP wrong about Martins Dzierkals?

On Friday August 7, I published the list of nine prospects that none of the 14 voters participating in PPP's Top 25 Under 25 rankings chose to rank in their top 25. Among them was Martins Dzierkals.

The post included a poll asking our community to choose who, if anyone, they were surprised he was excluded. With about 1000 votes tallied, half of voters indicated they were surprised Dzierkals did not receive a single vote.

Dzierkals - which the Toronto Sun says is pronounced as though it rhymes with 'circus', though an Estonian acquaintance of mine insists is pronounced as though it rhymes with 'circles' - was drafted in the third round, 68th overall, in the 2015 draft.
