The 7th Player Award is for performing well over expectations. Marchand came into the season as a 37 goal scorer, off a career year, with a big new contract, and the should-have-been (but . . .well . . .Crosby) MVP of the World Cup. He's meeting expectations. Plus the award is for newbies and pluggers, not established stars. Let's not go back the days where dumb fans gave it to Billy Guerin.
It's Carlo or (my choice) Moore.

Moore has also slipped of late. In my opinion. His early play was a little unsustainable.

Marchand for me too.
Carlo earlier in the year, but has slipped lately.
Moore is alright, he has an awesome birthday that I just realized and is shared with me and some other bum named Brady.

7th player isn't supposed to go to an established star and the team MVP. I would vote for Carlo. Nobody ever thought Carlo would be playing on the top pairing for the whole season at this young of an age, and playing quite well for the most part. Not even close IMO as to who should get it.
You've got it right, chicklet. Carlo or C. Miller fit the description of a player who wasn't counted on but surprised.
It's unfortunate that it's become a popularity contest.

Carlo. I expect marchand to be a leader on this team and although he's exceeding expectations in the big picture he's doing exactly what I'd expect, he's leading. Carlo was a nobody before this year and has played a huge role so far.
If you compare expectations and reality Carlo has the largest gap

I know he probably doesn`t or won`t get much of a vote here but I have been more than impressed with Moore
Yep, I know, gives you little in the way of production but this guy just brings it every shift. Now, has he exceeded expectations if I were to compare it to a kid like Carlo? Most likely not

Where's the like button when you need it? Should have kept Martin Jones as a legitimate backup.
In all seriousness, it's gotta be either Carlo or Moore (I remember people being like WTF when they picked up Moore -but someone knew what they were doing).

maybe... if they actually played better since he passed. They still suck ass.

By the very definition of the award, a player should never win it twice unless they improve dramatically from the year they won it the first time.
While Marchand has been excellent, he doesn't fit the criteria.
I'm a little surprised that there's not more mention of Pasta in this thread. Before the elbow surgery, he was prolly neck and neck with Carlo, in my eyes.
Carlo, Moore, or Pasta, in that order, at this point. There's still time for things to change.

That may be YOUR definition, but it is NOT the "very definition of the award".
From the B's own site:

Moron fans gave it to Bill Guerin two years in a row. It's been a battle between the pink hats giving it to the team MVP and the descendants of the Gallery Gods knowing what the 7th Player really is ever since.

One more missed playoffs will be enough to rid this storied franchise of the 2008-15 pink hat explosion
It's going to be a great feeling to walk in their next Fall knowing I'm with my people who know hockey

Bah. If it's a choice between
1. Watching a winner, but being surrounded by pink hats
vs
2. Watching a team that can't win at home, but being surrounded by people that "know hockey"
I'll take #1 every time.
And I seriously doubt missing the playoffs this season is really going to change the dynamic in the Garden very much next year. Unless prices go way down (and there's zero chance of that, given their current position), it'll be the same crowd or it may even lean more corporate as more "die hards" get priced out.

I've been sitting next to a couple of 10 game pass guys who call Patrice Bergeron "Ber-jee" instead of Bergy and constantly refer to Nash as Paille. I know folks come to games who don't know a blue line from a clothesline, but that's just annoying (to an admittedly low bar of annoyance guy like me).
