Masterton Trophy

[Cowumbus]

Who are some of the players that could win the Masterton this year? I was thinking Gerbe might get nominated from the CBJ.

Stephen Johns.

 

[Cowumbus]

Stephen Johns.

What’s his story?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

What’s his story?

Out for ~2 years dealing with post concussion syndrome. Wasn’t expected to ever play again.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

From the Oilers maybe Adam Larsson if anyone was nominated.

 

[Rangers79]

Rangers will probably nominate Lundqvist or Staal just for longevity or overcoming injuries for Staal. Can't think of anyone else really.

 

[Seb]

Hagg after the beating he got from Kotkaniemi

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Johns won't win because he plays on Dallas. PHWA members don't know there is a team in Dallas since 38 members didn't rank Heiskanen as a top 5 nomination for the Calder.

 

[leafsgirl12]

Wouldn't surprise me if oilers nominated Mcdavid due to him coming back from a significant knee injury though a intense rehab program.

 

[leafsgirl12]

Flyers nominee may be Nolan Patrick if he does return to playing . Though if Oscar Lindbloom is able to return to playing hockey next season than he deserves to win it for the 2020 - 2021 season .

 

[Spoilers]

From the Oilers maybe Adam Larsson if anyone was nominated.

Not the guy that was told that he’d likely miss the 2019-2020 season?

McDavid worked insanely hard after getting his PCL torn in half. It’s insane that he is still the leading scorer.

 

[bobholly39]

Kovalchuk in Montreal could be a nice story if he continues to perform this well through season end. Everyone had written him off and considered him a liability, but he preserved and took a minimum salary 2-way contract in Montreal, and has played fantastic so far.

 

[StupidGenius]

From the Oilers maybe Adam Larsson if anyone was nominated.

For coming back from a broken foot he played almost a full game on? Impressive, but not Masterton trophy worthy. Pretty sure McDavid's documentary tomorrow is going to solidify his vote for the Oilers.

 

[serp]

It probably should be Stephen Johns this year but Dallas isn't really on the radar for hockey media people who vote on things. So it might not be. He still hasn't fully told his story yet so maybe it generates some coverage . Just fighting back from missing almost 2 years because of career threatening injury is pretty remarkable. He wanted this.

 

[Satire]

Stephen Johns.

I wouldn't mind seeing this one bit. You have to think McDavid is in the running as well given the hype and new information coming regarding the seriousness of his knee injury.

 

[LeafsNation75]

I doubt he would win it or even be a finalist, still for Toronto's choice I would go with Justin Holl. Last season he played only 11 games and was a healthy scratch in their other 71 games. This season he's earned a top 6 spot on their defense and his play got him a new 3 year contract extension.

 

[Dr Robot]

As a blues fan I'm pulling for fabbri.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Zuccarello should get 2 of them after he was robbed in favor of Jagr a few years back. 1 because he deserved it initially, and a 2nd because of the grave injustice he suffered.

 

[kaiser matias]

Flyers nominee may be Nolan Patrick if he does return to playing . Though if Oscar Lindbloom is able to return to playing hockey next season than he deserves to win it for the 2020 - 2021 season .

Seeing how Ian Laperriere won it in 2011 (also with the Flyers0, despite not playing the year at all, that shouldn't be an issue. Not a decision I liked: while I understand the causes behind him missing the season, the trophy should go to someone who actually played.

 

[LarKing]

I’d nominate Fabbri. Tons of injuries early in his career. Then traded for a 4th liner and now playing like a legit top six forward on the worst team in the league.

 

[JoVel]

Doesn't every team have to nominate a player of their own for the Masterton?

 

[leafsgirl12]

Doesn't every team have to nominate a player of their own for the Masterton?

Yes every team nominates someone .

 

[Cygnusx1018]

For the Isles I'd say maybe Pascal Clutterbuck. Had major surgery in the offseason for a ridiculously messed up back, including multiple slipped discs, and was great in the first half of the year. Goes double if he comes back this year from wrist surgery after getting cut by a skate.

 

[Frosty415]

McDavid.

Dude took the hard road and so far its paying off.

Sabres:

olofsson. Just kinda cool to go from 7th rounder to a legit first liner as a rookie 24 year old.

bogosian, because injuries. I wouldn’t like that pick, just wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen.

those would be my picks for my team, definitely better cases around the league though.
