[Ohio Jones]

Columbus candidates:

D Victor Hedman:
- tied for league lead in goals from a blueliner (10, tied with Makar)
- top-3 in the East for points from a blueliner (36, behind Makar (42) and Provorov (37))
- tied for points lead on CBJ

Hedman is producing at close to league-leading numbers despite supporting an underwhelming team offence that is only 10th in the East in goals for (120).

G Cam Talbot (figures in the East):
- top-3 in save%
- top-2 in gaa
- top-2 in shutouts

Talbot has been a rock for Columbus, and is a big reason why the team is top 3 in the East and top-5 overall in goals against.

GM - Douglas Emerson
I humbly put forward my own name for consideration for GM, having swung for the fences to upgrade in advance of the deadline, picking up both the top goalie and one of the top C likely to move this season *without* committing to rentals or ravaging my farm. All but two spots for the 2023-24 season (4C, 6D) are already filled, with more than $6m in cap space left to work with this summer, so the team is built to challenge (and hopefully contend) beyond this season.

Islanders Candidates:

F William Nylander
- Team Lead in goals, assists and points
- T-11th in the league in goals, T-20th in points
- Has beautiful hair

Coach - Derek Lalonde
- 1st year head coach
- Took band of misfits and turned them into playoff contender
- Voted third most handsome coach in the NHL by the beauty-technology analysis (Science)

GM - Zack Szweras
- Acquired players that fit the team mold
- Acquired the most picks in the next two drafts (26) and still has the team 2nd in the Metro
- Youngest HFNHL GM

Zac, you forgot to mentioned that you got training from the oldest HFNHL GM.

Well deserve GM of the year candidate. Keep it up!

Leafs Candidates:

Connor McDavid - 2nd in Eastern Conference scoring, and he's Connor McDavid

Igor Shesterkin - Leads the Eastern Conference in both GAA and SV%

A compelling argument!

 

[Regal Beagles]

Vote for the Ducks:

GM - Nobody works the lines and completes more than myself. I also promise to make a couple of surprise selections to the team. Ducks had an awful start and trade town has led to holding a playoff spot.

Coach - Jared Bednar. How many coaches have to go into game prep never knowing who you might have on your team?

Goalie - Jack Campbell. He has led the Ducks from the brink of a blowup to contender. He has a .922 save % and 2.41 GAA.

Position players - Brent Burns and Mitch Marner. It’s no secret the Ducks turnaround happened with Marner’s arrival and he is well over a PPG as a Duck. Burns has been amazing and a top D all year with 33 points in 41 games.
