I won us the division when everyone had given up and the first two games of the playoffs. Damn.
Anyways, to me, it's Slavin pretty easily to this point. Got some points and is as amazing as can be defensively. Whether the real voters would be smart enough to pick him, hard to say.
I think Burns is right there but his slight edge in offensive capabilities doesn't quite trump what Slavs has done on the defensive side. Marty had a great round, but can't give it to him for just that at this point. Aho was much better in the first round, but same thing. Fast has been pretty consistenly good and clutch, but just falls short here I think. And Freddie has a chance to come on quick given his record and his stats, but only the one game in round one is a ding. Jarvis might surprisingly be on the edge of the convo for sure. Several other guys with good showings, but I think those are the biggest contenders at this point.

You can’t go wrong with Slavin, but Martinook has to be in the Conversation, the man is relentless, 5 on 5, short handed, or even on the end of the PP. He has to make one forget about Nino now and I can see him signing another 3 year 2.5 to 3 million a year contract

Aho was for the first round, Martinook for the second, but overall, it's got to be Slavin

Slavin is a god no doubt but Marty helped to keep the kids focused and believing. Oh and Burnsie ,damn . Tough call for me.
I’m out.

I was personally really torn between Slavin and Burns, and normally I'd go Slavin, but man is Burns having himself a hell of a playoffs. Love Marty, but he did have a goose egg on the scoresheet in round one.

The guy nobody wanted on waivers. Can’t believe how I wanted him gone and was relieved he was waived.

Marty Party had a hell of a last round, but I think it's gotta be one of the top 2 dmen here, they've been consistently excellent since Game 1 of the playoffs from being shutdown monsters to clutch scorers. I'd go Burns but I wouldn't begrudge anyone that says Slavin instead.
