Confirmed with Link: Blake Wheeler Finalist For Mark Messier Leadership Award

[KingBogo]

Good for Wheeler. Class guy and a great leader.

I disagree that Vegas gets this award. Gallant will get Vegas's award. I really think Wheels will take this home as he should.

Win or lose, Wheeler is a great captain....

Isn't the criteria for this award:

whoever mark messier thinks is the best leader.

You are correct.....I think Andrew Ladd was nominated for this award once

Here's me, hysterically laughing at all those "but Wheeler is lazy and a bad leader" takes from earlier this year. They sure aged badly.

Those Jets who have been asked about this team's leadership have emphasised the importance of Blake. Connor, Scheifele, Maurice come to mind. As for on-ice play, well, he's the best player there, and - just my honest, humble opinion - only Perreault is comparable in terms of leading by example and leaving 110% on the ice.

You could not ask for much more.

But what about Hendricks?

Wheeler will win it!!

All around player
Team captain of the 2nd best team in the league.

Blake so needs to win this, he should have been a Hart candidate. He's such an outstanding leader and I can't think of anyone better to be Our Captain.

Well said.

Captain America will win this award.

He was, but Toews won.
