Using an 82 game average for a guy who's never played 82. . . I mean I guess that's a thing. What's Swayman must have a killer 82 game career average
He's got more pts this year than in 7 out of his previous 8 and is tearing it up in the 2nd line spot, what's he at 10 pts in his last 6? Should be noted his other big production year was in a 2nd line role so who knows, maybe everyone was predicting this from him. . .

He is right were he should be pointwise playing between Hall and Pastrnak.

What are his pts between Hall and Pastrnak? I know he’s been blazing lately.
Quick glance looks like 30pts since Jan 1 which I think is when they made the swhich and would be 40ish games. Thats w/o significant PP time too.
Dont think anyone was expecting that out of him (except maybe Sweeney) maybe I’m wrong though
Ooh, ok a longer look.
Since Jan 1 (when he stepped into the second line) he’s got 26 pts at even strength. That’s good for 4th on the team and has him tied with guys like Larkin and Zibanejad over the same stretch

By the definition of the award going above and beyond expectations, the only two options should be Swayman and Haula. Did anyone expect Haula to be the glue to hold the 2nd line of Hall and Pastrnak together? And we al thought Ullmark would get the most starts and Swayman was filling a spot and getting development experience until Rask came back, now he's firmly the #1.
For Haula to not be nominated is a joke.

Haula 1st
Swayman 2nd
End of voting, no matter what the Reillys and Clifton's have to say. . . .

Lazar is one of my favorites this year. I was not expecting that when they got him.

I suggested Haula before FA started as a Krejci replacement and had him for 50 points. I don’t think he’s gone beyond what was expected. In fairness I had him in SIM league so watched him in Minnesota & Vegas quite a bit and with good linemates and at least 50/50 starts he’s a better than half a point game
Had he started October with Pastrnak & Hall and had health he blows past the 55 point year
His best linemate in Vegas was Tuch
He’s always been super responsible
What did him in was blowing out his knee

Don't care who gets the award now. Haula already won it for me.
To me, it's pretty obvious that Sway is the guy, but I would vote for Charlie Coyle as well.
Brandon Carlo?
That must be a typo.

The 7th player award is typically not given to the player it was created for in the spirit of what it represents. All too often it ends up being the most popular instead of the surprise contributor that exceeded expectations that season. It's why I can't get worked up too much about it. It's not something that's real. It's a silly little team award.

Speaking of silly, I love the Beatles and Paul McCartney but hate Silly Love Sing’
Nick Ritchie wins last April and is in here in February with Coyotes and people want him tossed off the Tobin
Aside - I need late draft picks if you got any

Dan, I always have draft picks available. Hit me up with what you’re looking for. I have next year and the following I can move.

Neither Reilly nor Forbort approach winning this honor. Both have struggled mightily this year to perform even adequately.
I understand that MR is a talented NHL player who can help the Bruins with his outlet passes and offensive skill.
Forbort, I guess, is valuable on the PK. That's about it. He underwhelms or fails miserably otherwise.
Again, Jeremy's the rightful winner here, hands down. Love to Charlie, and though he hasn't done it all year, sincere kudos to Freddie for finding his game, and his rightful place in the lineup. I'm very heartened by that. So long fourth line grinder role, and good riddance.
I have been a fan of Curtis Lazar since his arrival, and Tomas Nosek is a very good fourth line player whose contributions and "hockey sense" have been unheralded on the board and in the Boston sports media. Thank you Billy Jaffe and Andrew Raycroft for calling justified attention to TM's sturdy, smart play.
This team has really gelled since the January 1 break up of the "Perfection Line," with players finally slotted into their proper place, offense spread out accordingly, and minutes apportioned as they should be.
Deadline additions, pre, post and on the day itself, were solid and have significantly improved the line up.
Congratulations and sincere respect to Sweeney (and, I guess, Neely, though I STILL don't know what he does) and, especially, Bruce Cassidy for intelligent and effective adjustments that have greatly enhanced the roster & its playoff viability.
We shall see,
Troublesome 85

My choice is Lazar. Haula 2 nd. Based on expectation... Bergeron! Who would have thought he would have his best Selke career at 36!

What do you call Coyle when he played with Hall and Pasta? When he dragged both of them down to his scoring pace.

Frederic, Haula, Smith, Lazar, Reilly, Swayman, I can't come up with a seventh.
edit: I guess Grzelcyk now that Lindholm bumped him down on the left defense depth chart. might even make him first with his team-leading plus total.

I have Swayman, Grezclyk, Haula but I’m most surprised to see only one other nod the Grezclyk?
He is unheralded but critical to our transition. I would have thought there would be at least a few voting for him. I do see Bumpers point that before Lindholm got here he’d be on the top D pair so maybe that’s why there is a lack of consideration.
