[Theokritos]

24 ballots sent in so far.

The individual teams are the tricky category in this voting because I could easily see many of them ending up with an insigificant number of ballots & unrepresentative outcomes.

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Kucherov should have been #1. Not sure how Draisaitl ended up behind MacK (it can't be playoffs because McDavid is 1st). Lol @ Crosby being 12th. 47pt season and missing the playoffs = 12th best in the league? Would love to hear the logic of the people voting him top 5. What a joke.
