Rookie fighter of the year early candidates?

[Your Boy Troy]

There aren't too many enforcers with the direction the NHL is headed. So, what are the candidates for rookie fighter of the year?

- Dylan McIlrath (stuck in Hartford, a legitimate heavyweight)
- Liam O'Brien (Willing and has significantly improved from the last few seasons)
- Mark Borowiecki (Hard hitting defenseman who is a good middleweight)
- Nicolas Deslauriers (Solid middleweight fighter that is switch-hand fighter)
- Zach Sill (Dangerous south-paw fighter)
- Andy Andreoff (Willing to go, but rarely plays due to depth on Kings)
- Curtis McKenzie (Power-forward who fought and did well against Clifford)
- Bobby Robins (Will hopefully get his chance again)

Feel free to mention players that weren't mentioned above.

Tinordi but is in the same situation than Mcllrath. **** the nhl is soft

Bobby Robins if he gets another call for 10-15 games. I could see him going 6-7 times in that span.

Also, Dylan McIlrath if he gets another chance... 2 NHL fights, and he fought McGrattan and Ryan Reaves... not bad.

Might as well add Nathan Beaulieu to the list as rookie fighter of the year, doesn't look like he will make it in the NHL on his defensive skills might as well turn him into a bruiser

His record this year two fights, two knockdowns.
