Chiarelli
Anderson
Babcock
Gaudreau
Kesler
Matthews
Bobrovsky
Burns
Crosby
McDavid
Marian Hossa won’t play next season, or maybe ever again.
Dermatitis.
Ugh.
Poile
Anderson
Torts (I think Babcock will win)
Gaudreau
Koivu
Matthews - superb rookie class. Matt Murray should win because of the back to back Stanley Cups but this is a regular season award. Matthews is the best young star to my eyes.
Bob
Burns (all the Canadian voters will pick Karlsson)
Crosby
McDavid (should be Crosby but McDavid is the next great Canadian hope)
Vezina would have been a lock for Bob if he hadn’t sucked in the short series against the Pens. Now it will probably go to Holtby.
Johnny G. because I coached his cousins and go to deer camp with the dad.
