I'd be baffled if McPhee didn't win this

 

[amnesiac]

McPhee - Gallant

no question

chiarelli was robbed

 

[Bryzard of Oz]

If McPhee doesn't win...

 

[Cleatus]

Homer vote Chevy.

Unanimously.

 

[Bandit]

What happened to Chayka? I thought he was a lock?

 

[SEALBound]

If McPhee doesn't win...

The award will lose 100% credibility. Its McPhee's. The other two are merely a formality.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Has to be McPhee right? Coach and GM of the year should be pretty easy choices.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Where is Bergevin?

 

[Sabre the Win]

It has to be McPhee I mean he has totally redeemed himself from that Forsberg for Erat trade.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Can't really see any version that makes sense not having McPhee winning, but Yzerman normally would be another runaway candidate.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

McPhee will win. Nice to see Stevie Y getting some credit tho.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Weird that this award cares about two rounds of playoffs, one of the more swingy times of the year. Should just be regular season, but media be cray-crazy I guess.

These nominations are completed at the end of the regular season, the NHL just doesn't announce it right away, has nothing to do with any playoff rounds.

McPhee is the clear cut obvious choice.

 

[tony d]

Mcphee will win this.

 

[I am not exposed]

But McPhee was gifted a team amirite

 

[Captain Mountain]

Where is Bergevin?

This is the second straight year that a finalist's biggest off-season move was a big trade with Bergevin, so...

 

[The Macho King]

Nah - I think a big part of this is the perception of how successful deadline moves were (specifically big-time rentals). So waiting for some of the playoffs to see if someone who gambled big is winning or busted makes sense.

GM is voted on after the first two rounds (unlike the other noms).

 

[ColdSteel2]

I was down on McPhee because I didn’t like the way he treated the booing fans at the botched reveal in Vegas, but I have to hand it to him, great team and he is loaded with high draft picks for the next couple years, got to be him in a landslide.

 

[generalshepherd141]

McPhee wins this, even though he made that god-awful Tatar trade at the deadline.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

McPhee and two other guys, essentially.

 

[jetsforever]

All make sense, McPhee will likely win
