1. Sidney Crosby
MVP is supposed to go to the most valuable player to his team. But it never does. The Penguins would still be great without Crybaby, but he had the most outstanding year by far.
2. Ryan Getzlaf
A lot of people think Ovechkin should be here. Those people are crazy and know nothing about hockey.
3. Claude Giroux
Giroux was the most valuable player to his team, easily. The Flyers would be nothing without him.
Vezina Trophy (Goalie)
1. Tuuka Rask
Stood on his head the 2nd half of the year and lead Boston to a Presidents Trophy and the title of scariest team in the NHL. He definitely deserves the hardware.
2. Semyon Varlamov
Probably the most questionable character in the NHL after that whole kidnapping his wife thing. But awards are won (or in this case not won) by what you do on the ice, not off.
3. Ben Bishop
Bishop was the Vezina winner for most of the season until the Bruins went on their tear.
Norris Trophy (defenseman)
1. Shea Webber
2. Erik Karlsson
3. Duncan Keith
Honorary nomination to Andrew MacDonald since he lead the league in blocked shots.
Calder Trophy (Rookie)
1. Nathon MacKinnon
No brainer
2. Ondrej Palat
Did you think we would nominate someone from the Lightning other than Drouin?
3. Hampus Lindholm
Where's Seth Jones?
Selke Trophy (Defensive Forward)
1. Patrice Bergeron
There's a reason he and Kreci lead in plus/minus.
2. Anze Kopitar
3. Jonathan Toews
Jack Adams Award
1. Jon Cooper
2. Patrick Roy
3. Claude Julien
Let me be clear. When you turn a team around like Patrick Roy did in Colorado, you deserve coach of the year. When you turn a team around like Michel Therien did in Montreal last year, you don't deserve a nomination. The Jack Adams award is flaud. If Therien didn't get nominated last year, Roy is winning this year. Plus Cooper had a lot less to work with in Tampa Bay when you account the Stamkos injury
