Marner.

Stone

add Stamkos, Tavares

 

[Bouboumaster]

I went with Hellebuyck.

Jets are a good team but Hellebuyck is for me, their stand-out player, a top 3 goaltender in the league

Aho, Pietrangelo, Josi and Bergeron should then go next IMO, in some order

Can’t say I watch a lot of Vegas but Pietro was by far their best player vs the Habs.

Voted Stone

John Carlson being a votable player here is hilarious. Guy is an absolute pylon that puts up paper offensive stats.

 

[Buck Naked]

Stone, come on! He's a top 20 player in this league!

 

[Canadienna]

None of these players will help your team win more than Carey Price.

And what's the issue with Stone? Among the top scorers in the league while being one of the best defensive forwards. Not seeing the issue here.

He was our best player throughout the playoffs. My thing is he was really bad in the regular season. Ultimately it didn't matter since we tied for first and made the conference finals but still. He was stunningly not worth his contract for much of the season. There was a point where I would've had him fourth on the depth chart just on performance alone behind Theodore, Martinez, and Whitecloud.

I guess you can make the argument that Stone disappeared offensively in the playoffs but he's a big part of Vegas' all around defense and I'm willing to say pretty confidently that we don't get past Colorado or Minnesota if Stone was out for the postseason. So it levels things off in my estimation in his favor.

Oops I guess it reads incorrectly, I meant my vote was for Stone but wanted to add the bit about Carlson.

Voted Hamilton. Might as well add Grubauer. The voting has been very forward heavy to this point.
