Larkin and it isn't very close. Raymond and Seider are coming into their own, though. Need to keep Seider away from Chiarot from now on.

On a per game basis you're probably right the answer is clear. But missing 14 games when you've been so close in the PO race the entire season.. One could argue the others who played a full season. Esp since Seider, Raymond and ghost are pretty high in certain statistical categories leaguewide.

 

[ricky0034]

easily Larkin based on how the team looked without him around

his value to the team goes well beyond just his on ice performance

 

[gritdash60]

Larkin is the obvious choice, but i voted Raymond because of how he tried to carry the team into playoffs.

 

[Albatros]

Seider for how screwed they would be without him. Larkin was excellent though, but they have way more depth in offense.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Larkin - best player on a per-game basis
Raymond - best season of anyone on the team
Seider - toughest role and doing the most "heavy lifting"

I voted Raymond, perhaps influenced by how great he was in the last month or two.

 

[LarKing]

It's Larkin. Raymond played so well down the stretch tho that I did have to think about it for a bit. But then I remembered how we're like a .200 team when Larkin doesn't play and I made the correct choice
