Early Conn Smythe Favourites

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Swayman if by a miracle the Bruins advance.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Trocheck and Igor

I have Dallas-FLA Final, Bob or Heiskanen

I have Dallas-FLA Final, Bob or Heiskanen

I don't see Bob winning the Conn Smythe with his current numbers.

All it would take is him crushing Boston tonight and a pretty great series against the Rangers to give him numbers that would get him into the conversation, but right now he has very similar numbers to that of Frederik Andersen in these playoffs.

And I don't like it. I'm legit worried about Florida because of it. If he doesn't raise his game, the Rangers are gonna beat them, if Boston doesn't somehow take them out first.

I still think Makar is the favorite assuming Avs can beat Dallas (which is unlikely but not impossible). Colorado is beating Edmonton/Vancouver.

I'd put my money on Mack because Makar already won

Benning goofed on not picking the Stank. That was a terrible oversight and i wanted him

Yep, Benning is always a big moron. He missed other too like Tkatchuk and Ehlers. Imagine drafting Virtanen instead of Ehlers or Nylander. Or Drafting a soft dman like Juolevi instead of Tkatchuk. Total head scratchers, Stank is just the tip of the iceberg

Bob makes the key saves in big moments and wins games for his team.
Freddy simply doesn't.
Numbers dont tell all.

Draisaitl
Heiskenen
Shesterkin

Draisaitl

Yea for sure those 3 are my picks as well. If Barkov replaces Bob I wont be mad.

Wyatt Johnston.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Drai wants that smythe. Leading the oilers.... Hyman not far behind

 

[Mrb1p]

Draisaitl should probably get the Smythe even if he doesn't go to the SCF. At this point he's absolutely insane. Killing the 6v5 and bullying Hughes, scoring more than Gretzky. Mcdavid mostly inexistent.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Drai easily the front runner.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Zach Hyman is having a heck of the playoffs, knew he would be a great pick up for the Oilers, really happy for him. But right now it has to be Draisaitl. Offence is obvious, but also made a big defensive play to preserve a game 7 win.

 

[Sensatauro]

Drai
Wyatt
Igor
Barkov

My useless opinion, Drai leading current half way race by being a legit monster out there

 

[Dhockey16]

I think Bouchard has a pretty good case

 

[Ghetty Green]

In no order...

Shesterkin
Draisaitl
Heiskanen
Barkov

 

[TheBeard]

I think Jake has a better case over Igor. Save percentage is close but a sparkling 2.09 GAA against two offensively potent teams.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Barkov

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Barkov
Shesterkin

Johnston
Ian Cole/NHL officials office (jk definitely Draisaitl)

 

[OKR]

Heiskanen is clearly the front runner for Dallas, not Johnston.

 

[bobholly39]

Any of Draisaitl, McDavid or Bouchard could win for the Oilers at this point. Draisaitl is in the lead, but it's still a 3 horse race. Hyman has done really well, but I don't think he's in the race tbh.

I'll predict McDavid wins out in the end. I have Oilers winning the cup too.

for other teams:

Very impressed with Wyatt Johntson in Dallas, though Heiskanen is probably #1

For Florida - probably Barkov.

For Rangers - don't sleep on Panarin. He Doesn't stand out as much as Igor or Trocheck/Zibanejad maybe, but he has 4 game winning goals already...talk about being clutch. If he can do well in rounds 3 and 4, he could be the Rangers #1 if they go all the way, though I wouldn't have him #1 right now.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think Jake has a better case over Igor. Save percentage is close but a sparkling 2.09 GAA against two offensively potent teams.

Money puck has Shestyorkin saving 3.6 more goals above expected in 3 less games.

 

[LordBacon]

Connor Brown

 

[Duder54]

I think Bouchard has a pretty good case

After that Vancouver series, 100%. He’s playing like an absolute beast atm.
