The All-Star Break starts on January 26, and with four days off as a team and with little to talk about during that time in the big wide world of Flyers, we’ll be updating our twice-yearly 25 Under 25 rankings during that time. (If you’re not familiar with our 25 Under 25 series: here, take some time and read through it!)
And, as always, when we update these rankings, we like to get your help. If you’d like to participate, please use the form below, or at this link, to rank the 25 players in the organization under 25, based on their current value to the organization. How you choose to define that is up to you — NHL-readiness right now, long-term upside, trade value, etc.
When all fan votes are collected, the end result will be totaled up and put into one community ballot, which will be counted alongside each of our writers’ ballots in the final tally.
Some quick notes:
- Our age cutoff is February 1, 2018. As such, we’ve lost two members from the last countdown: Sean Couturier, who ended at No. 2 after an illustrious career on the 25 Under 25 and a birthday this past December, and Alex Lyon, who was No. 19 this past summer before also reaching the big 2-5 in December. Meanwhile, no new names have been added to the ballot since last summer.
- Please only submit one ballot.
- Make sure to only pick any given player once; otherwise, we cannot guarantee that your ballot will be counted.
- Please do not submit any joke ballots, or else they will be thrown out and you’ll have wasted the time to have scrolled through an entire Google form and clicked through 25 dropdown boxes for nothing. We reserve the right to decide what is and is not a joke ballot — reasonable difference in opinion is fine, but we will know a ballot that wasn’t taken seriously when we see it.
- Please submit your ranking by the end of the day (11:59 p.m. ET) on Sunday, January 21./
