It's Heiskanen, team has been garbage since his injury.

Good that people are realizing now how important Miro is despite not putting up elite points

 

[um]

Good that people are realizing now how important Miro is despite not putting up elite points

I'm pretty sure past playoffs made that obvious.

Definitely Heiskanen based on the teams recent (last 2 months) play, but the way Matt Duchene carried this team offensively (and still carries them in their transition game from their forwards) for half the season can't be ignored either so I'll throw my vote to him just for recognition's sake.

81 points in 78 games for him, which leads the team (besides Rantanen who doesn't really count). He turned the Stars PP around midway through as well. All for $3m lol. If he was on the top PP unit for the full year and had his linemates stayed healthy he probably would've been near 100 points

 

[Dr Pepper]

Definitely Miro, HM to Johnston.

Heiskanen is obviously their best player, but hard to name someone team MVP when they are gonna miss 32 games unless the cast around him is really dire, which doesn't seem to be the case here irregardless of how the team has looked as a whole

I was thinking the same. He’s obviously their most important player overall but I don’t know if he’s so good as to make up the games played for this season’s MVP. Duchene has been their most consistent player imo and was one of the only ones scoring early when guys like Robertson and Johnston were slumping.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Heiskanen has missed nearly half of the season. Surely that can't be your MVP.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

It's Heiskanen, team has been garbage since his injury.

But they dominate league stats since Jan 1/4 Nations.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I go Duchene. With all the skilled players this team has, it's pretty impressive that the 34 year old who signed a low $$ deal just to play for a contender leads the entire team in points.

He's been all in with this team and deserves some praise.

 

[Sky04]

Duchene in on the scoresheet just about every single game.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Johnston

 

[Felidae]

Didn't think Duchene would be winning over Oettinger.

 

[Coffee]

Lindell? Nice I always liked him @MrHeiskanen

 

[Fatass]

Why is this on the main board?

 

[Felidae]

Why is this on the main board?

Huh? It's in the poll section. Or are you saying I should post this on the Dallas board?

Is there another club’s MVP poll here?

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Is there another club’s MVP poll here?

A bunch of them

 

[Fatass]

A bunch of them

I’ll play then. Heiskanen is by far Dallas’s best and most important player. Imo it’s not even close. He's a great player amongst a lot of good ones.

 

[Crow]

It's Heiskanen, team has been garbage since his injury.

While I get what you are saying, it just means he would be the MVP if he were healthy enough to play.

 

[M88K]

MVP is most valuable player.
It's Heiskanen.

The teams play before and after his injury prove it's him.
Missing 30 games doesn't change anything.
I'd give anyone else to have Heiskanen back in the lineup today.
Team is facing a 1st round exit without him.

 

[tabness]

Didn't watch much of Dallas, surprised Matt Duchene was so good for them
