Selke Favorite (Post-Bergeron Injury)

[HyPnOtiK]

I'm aware that Couturier should win it, I just think Barkov has a lot of buzz around him.

On HFB, yes.

Voters aren't going to go out of their way to vote for a European over a Canadian kid. If nationalities were reversed I could see it happening

I'm aware that Couturier should win it, I just think Barkov has a lot of buzz around him.

At first I misread it as Couture, and was about to rage how anyone can suggest Couture is even close to a Selke level forward. All good though.

 

[eviohh26]

I think it's Kopitar's to lose right now.

Don't know why Barkov is an option he's nowhere near Selke-level.

WHAT? That is non sense.

 

[eviohh26]

Barkov is HF darling, he's nowhere near Couturier or Kopitar

He is better than Couturier.

 

[eviohh26]

Looking at the numbers Couturier is just as good as Bergeron, head and shoulders above Barkov and Kopitar

He also plays with who again?

 

[Iceman]

He is better than Couturier.

At playing hockey? Sure... just defense? Not so sure.

 

[Johno]

This man. Without him Florida would be a bottom three team. Gets it done in both ends this season

 

[AdamParrot]

According to metrics stats:

Sean Selke Couturier.

 

[Harhis]

He also plays with who again?

He playes with a guy who many tought to be cap dump last summer and 20 year old sophmore.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

still Bergeron, as of now he is only guaranteed to miss 2 weeks.

 

[Sasso09]

He is better than Couturier.

But factually, he's not....at anything.

Even if you want to say he's better overall, that's arguable. Better defensively really isn't, only Bergeron can claim that. They're the clear top 2

 

[wintersej]

Bergeron, Couts and Kopitar are the nominees. If Bergeron keeps it at or above 70 games its his, after that its Couts.

 

[BB88]

I'm aware that Couturier should win it, I just think Barkov has a lot of buzz around him.

He's probably better candidate for Hart if he drags that Panthers lineup to playoffs.

 

[tony d]

Couts.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Barkov is HF darling, he's nowhere near Couturier or Kopitar

Couturier is your little darling, and he is nowhere near Kopitar or Bergeron

 

[Sasso09]

Couturier is your little darling, and he is nowhere near Kopitar or Bergeron

Please make your argument for Kopitar other than reputation.... Couturier BURRIES him defensively, it's really not close this year.

And only reason I defend Couturier so much is how underrated hes been for years, Giroux is my guy and only reason I watch Flyers

Nothing screams Selke like a shootout goal!!!

Seriously, and the same move we see 20 times a year... it was pretty though

I mean, I'm not going to sit here and argue with people about Bark0v.

But he has the highest TOI for any forward, most SHG in the league, plays good defence and is PPG on the dot. Will he win the Selke? Probably not, and I don't know how his underlying numbers stack up against the other players -- but he should absolutely be in the conversation for the Selke, potentially the Hart if he carries Fla to the post-season.

 

[Little Psycho]

Why doesn’t he?

I hope he's talking about his personal list since he hasn't watched Kopitar this season.

 

[Sol]

Kopitar doesn’t belong in the discussion this year. I’d say Bergeron but if not I’d put my money on Couts.

Lol wat

Kopitar has 70 points in 64 games while carrying the team without Carter

What does that have to do with his defensive play?

Kopitar's D is top notch in the league. This Couturier hype is crazy. Talk about getting overrated. He is the only player playing with a Hart Candidate unlike others.

Couturier has been an elite defensive player for years now, long before he played on a line with Giroux.

If Florida makes playoffs he has my vote for Hart. Selke? No, he shouldn't be a nominee based on the numbers.

I think he's a superstar, but just because of that it doesn't qualify him for Selke given the numbers Bergeron and Couturier have
