My hockey memories go back no further than early in the Oilers' dynasty.
I think 1984 is still Messier. And 1985 is still Gretzky, and 1986 is probably still Patrick Roy.
But I think 1987 wouldn't be Hextall. Maybe Grant Fuhr?
1988 is still Gretzky. 1989 is an interesting one---I think maybe MacInnis still wins it, but an argument could be made for Gilmour.
In 1990, I think Bill Ranford still wins, but an argument can be made for Craig Simpson. 1991 is still Lemieux for sure. Maybe a small argument for Barrasso, but since he got pulled for two periods, probably not. Again, Lemieux keeps it in 1992 as well (he was actually outscored by Tocchet in the Finals, but his 5 goals easily leads all players).
1993, I think it still goes to Roy even though I don't think he was overly great in this series. But there's no other individual who stands out enough to take it away from him.
1994 is still Leetch, though some argument for Richter.
1995 is a fun one because I don't think there's much chance for Claude Lemieux, right? So who wins it? Maybe Neal Broten at age 35? That would have been cool. Maybe Brodeur.
1996 would be Roy, not Sakic, right?
1997 could still be Vernon, as he did perform very well in the Finals. But good chance for Fedorov, too.
1998 I really don't know. Any thoughts?
