Today another T25 comes to an end. It was one of the oddest, and also the best in some ways. The first T25 on an independent PPP has been fun, which makes it a success. But the prospect pool is very odd, difficult to judge no matter the method you use. We managed, though!

Big thanks go to our three guest voters as well as everyone who voted in the community vote.

I like to learn something every year – I do try to get smarter for all the discussion. And for me, it was about defencemen in a more general way, but about Timothy Liljegren, Topi Niemelä, Conor Timmins and the hazy outline that is Noah Chadwick as well. That post is yet to come, not really a T25 post, more the shadow this year's voting and discussion casts for me.

The final results are:

2023 Rank	Player	2022 Rank	Lowest Vote	Highest Vote	Weighted Average
1	Matthew Knies	3	1	1	1
2	Timothy Liljegren	4	2	2	2

18	Noah Chadwick	N/A	23	9	19.7
19	Semyon Der-Arguchintsev	21	18	13	19.8
20	Hudson Malinoski	N/A	24	13	21
21	Dmitri Ovchinnikov	15	23	14	21.1
22	Brandon Lisowsky	25	25	15	21.4
23	Dennis Hildeby	24	25	11	21.5
24	Artur Akhtyamov	NR	25	11	22.1
25	Mikko Kokkonen	17	25	16	22.4
26	Joe Miller	NR	25	18	23.7
27	Braeden Kressler	N/A	25	19	24
28	Vyacheslav Peksa	NR	25	20	24.1
29	Max Ellis	NR	20	17	24.5
30	Veeti Miettinen	NR	23	22	25.3
31	Wyatt Schingoethe	NR	24	22	25.4
32	Michael Koster	NR	24	24	25.8
33	Semyon Kizimov	NR	25	25	25.9
34	John Fusco	NR			26
35	Keith Petruzzelli	N/A			26
36	Ryan O’Connell	NR			26

A note for posterity on the players listed: Ryan O'Connell's rights expired in the middle of the T25, and the Leafs added Simon Benoit, who would be eligible. Where or if he would have ranked is a difficult question to answer. I would have put him somewhere lower than Conor Timmins and higher than Noah Chadwick.
