Early Season CHL PLAYER OF THE YEAR Favorites?

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

Who are the early season favorites to take the CHL PLAYER OF THE YEAR?

I know that Peter Mueller and Leland Irving have had breakout starts with #1 ranked Everett. Claude Giroux has some sick #'s in the Q. As does Gagner, Kane, and Little in the OHL.

Who Else????

If Leland Irving keeps going the way he's going, he's going to demolish pretty much every CHL goaltending record this year, and I think that would have to make him the favourite.

That said, he's helped greatly by the team he's on and probably isn't the best player in the CHL, but if a goalie could win 40-50 games with a GAA below 1.50, that's hard to turn down.

No goalie has won CHL Player of the Year since Ed Staniowski. Irving should be Goalie of the Year but Player of the Year is always a stretch for goalies.

CODY FRANSON

Jonathan Bernier.

 

[Bégin is the bestest*]

Claude Giroux, François Bouchard, Brad Marchand, Mathieu Carle, Jonathan Bernier, Ben Maxwell, Corey Price, Sergei Kostyistyn.

 

[Langway]

It's awfully early but here's a short list:

Giroux, Perreault, Trukhno, Gagner, Ryder, Little, Burki, Hanzal, and Irving.

I'd lean towards Irving at this point.

 

[Karamazov]

Let's not forget Cory Emmerton

 

[ODAAT]

He is rated to go #1 at this time in the draft, and doesn`t get a ton of ink, but living in Halifax, I have seen Jakub Voracek of the Mooseheads is one of the most complete juniors I have seen in years, and that includes many years in Ottawa watching Kilrea develope solid kids. He is quick, has a rocket for a shot, plays very hard at all times, and most impressive, very disciplined positionally for a kid his age. If he continues developing the way he seems to be, he could be in for an excellent NHL career.

gagne and kane are definetly lighting up the o and they are both considered rookies so one of them definetly have a good shot
