Not to sound like a broken record and repeat everything that’s been said, but March and Karlsson absolutely, 100% deserved it over Neal. Fleury vs. Subban is absolutely arguable too, but Im not going to fight that fight. Based on expectations, Subban has been better than Fluery...not to take anything away from MAF.
Karlsson is 6th in goals scored in the league, and Marchessault is tied for 24th in the league in points with up to as many as 6-8 games in hand on some guys. PPG wise, he’s 10th in the league. 86 point pace.
Neal seemed to get the nod via the “all-time achievement award” like when Doughty won the Norris, when he had had much better seasons in the past.
