Based solely on on-ice production and performance, there's only one correct answer.

 

[Laoghaire]

I want to go Turris but he had a long stretch where he did absolutely nothing. MacArthur was consistently one of our best players.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

MacArthur followed by Turris. People will say karlsson but i was disappointed in his lack of ability defensively and outright laziness some games.

The MacArthur vs Turris showdown

 

[HavlatMach9]

Karlsson, for better or worse

 

[saskriders]

MacArthur exceeded expectations the most.

 

[xVolchenkov]

MacArthur
Turris
Karlsson
Spezza
Ryan

Lol'd at the Kassian and Phillips votes.

 

[OmniSens]

Voted Karlsson, but Turris should be the safe answer here.

 

[QuietOnTheFront]

Karlsson is our best player.

 

[Mathieu]

Karlsson is our best player.

He's might be our best player, but he was not our best player this season.. Voted MacArthur.

 

[Xspyrit]

Question is vague, so people vote for different interpretations, which gives you weak poll results

So what do we want to know? Who is the best player? Who played the best according to expectations? Who was MVP? Who disappointed you the less?

Personally I voted Turris, who was our best player all year even when not recording points. Awesome player

 

[2XPRO31]

Only not voting Karlsson because I know he can be better.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Voted Karlsson. I really can't believe how close it is, I guess we can consider that a good thing though.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Voted Turris, but it was close between he and Mac.

 

[Caje]

This shouldn't be close, people are basing this on their expectations going into the season. Karlsson played 27:04 minutes a game which was second in the league and more than 6 minutes more than the next highest Senator. His defense wasn't the greatest but his offense easily made up for it.

Yes, Karlsson was a disappointment this year. But a disappointing season from a Norris trophy winner doesn't take away from the fact that he was still way better than anyone else on the team. Turris and Mac surpassed all expectations, but did not contribute as much as Karlsson.

Or maybe people interpret the poll as that

The OP clearly says: "Note: Please take only on-ice production and performance into account.". That doesn't include expectations.

Karlsson

As is apparently the case with most people, I was torn between Turris, Mac, and EK. I went with EK, but they have all been so SO good for us this year. Ryan has been very good overall as well, especially in light of the injury he was playing through.

MacArthur followed by Turris. People will say karlsson but i was disappointed in his lack of ability defensively and outright laziness some games.

hes a defenseman who cant play defense so apparently that's when its acceptable...

Turris and macarthur were head and shoulders above anyone else on the team in terms of overall game...
Ill give the edge Turris, center>winger
