The votes are in and finally counted, and tomorrow we’ll start counting down the top 25 San Jose Sharks prospects under 25 years old. Before we get to that though, I wanted to walk through the tallying process and look at the five prospects who almost made the cut.
This year, we had 62 total ballots cast. Each ranking position (1-25) was assigned a value, starting with 25 and descending (1=25 points, 2=24 points, 3=23 points, etc.). I tallied each player’s total votes at each position and multiplied it by the point value. The players were then ranked by their point totals.
