Carl Soderberg and Reilly Smith both say hello and mention how much they would like a Kia Sorrento
1) B's fans saw what Krug was capable of in the PO's last year, so while it is a surprise to many that he has been able to maintain that level of play, we knew he was talented enough.
2) Soderberg has been a revelation. Based on what he showed last year when he came over, I can't imagine that anyone thought he would be this good, this quickly.
3) Smith, too most, was one of the "throw ins" with Loui in the Segs deal. Even worse, there were a lot of people at the time of the trade that had him listed as third amongst the prospects. He has shown that he can play Top 9 on a good team in the NHL and some now think he was the best player we got (I'm not one of those).
Any of those three would be worthy winners right now, but lots of hockey left. If I was biting today, I would probably go with Smith.
On the surface, I totally thought Smith was the least likely of the 3 to fit in. Fraser looked like a good fit with his size and North/South game, and Morrow was the most highly touted of the 3. Not that I thought he would be a bum, but certainly didn't expect him to be such a solid contributor this quickly.
