MacKinnon
Rinne
Bergeron
Doughty
Barkov
Boyle
Barzal
Wheeler
Gallant
McDavid
Sedins (can they both win?)
McPhee

 

[nhlfan9191]

Rinne will win his first Vezina, McDavid will win Ted Lindsay, the rest are a toss up.

 

[Regal]

Rinne will win his first Vezina, McDavid will win Ted Lindsay, the rest are a toss up.

I think Gallant is a pretty big lock too

 

[sabremike]

I think Gallant is a pretty big lock too

Barzal winning the Calder as well.

 

[sebsisles]

Rinne will win his first Vezina, McDavid will win Ted Lindsay, the rest are a toss up.

Barzal, Gallant, and Mcphee all seem like the obvious choices.

 

[Lemonlimey]

Mack the Knife with the photo finish, maybe 1 vote difference him and Hall on Wednesday.

 

[MrThomas]

Rinne will finally win his first Vezina. I hope he will bring the Predators all the way to the finals again next year!

 

[BruinsFan37]

Selke can go either way. If Bergeron had been healthy for the entire season he wins in a landslide, but missing as many games as he did puts it up in the air. Can still see him winning on reputation though, and the season he was having prior to the injury was insane. If it doesn't go to Bergeron then Couturier, Kopitars already gotten a "career" Selke and both Bergy and Coots were better than him this season.

Don't think any of the other trophies are close (i.e. they should have landside winners)

[SotasicA]

Hart: Nathan MacKinnon
Close race, but MacK edges Hall for the win.

Vezina: Pekka Rinne
This can't go any other way.

Selke: Anze Kopitar
Had the best season, and is also the best player.

Norris: Victor Hedman
The only one without a Norris.

Lady Byng: William Karlsson
A bit hard to predict.

Masterson: Jordan Staal

Calder: Mathew Barzal
Easy.

Messier Leadership: Deryk Engelland
Give Vegas players all the possible hardware.

Jack Adams: Gerard Gallant
...and coaches, too.

Lindsay: Connor McDavid
I'd say he's still the best player, and I reckon players agree.

King Clancy: Jason Zucker
Whatever.

GM of the Year: George McPhee
He built a Campbell trophy winner in less than a year.

Hart: Nathan MacKinnon
Vezina: Andrei Vasilevsky
Selke: Patrice Bergeron
Norris: Victor Hedman
Byng: William Karlsson
Lindsay: Taylor Hall
Calder: Mathew Barzal
Masterton: Brian Boyle
Adams: Gerard Gallant

 

[Newusername]

Hart:
Nathan MacKinnon - carries the avalanche ( worst team of the decade last year, ) to a playoff birth.

Vezina:
Pekka Rinne - a lifetime achievement vezina for Rinne,


Selke:
Sean Couturier - incredible defensively, great offensively, anchored that first line.

Norris:
Victor Hedman - easily the best defensman this year

Lady Byng:
William Karlsson - tough one to predict

Masterson:
Brian Boyle - easy for me

Calder:
Mathew Barzal - really wish bowser didn’t get hurt so this could have been a race for the Calder but Barzal has earned it, 85 points for a rookie, most since malkin

Messier Leadership:
Blake Wheeler - just a bunch

Jack Adams:
Gerard Gallant - easiest

Lindsay:
Nathan MacKinnon -


King Clancy:
Daniel and Henrik Sedin - lifetime achievement award

GM of the Year:
George McPhee - obviously

[BlueBull]

Messier: Can go *** himself

Leadership Trophy. Could not fit that without the nominees being two lines of text, only want 1.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The Messier leadership trophy is the dumbest trophy in professional sports. It's like the NHL just made the award to give Messier something to do.
