Don’t even know what to say if GMs are so stupid to let him fall that far after Michkov

He’s not the same level as Michkov, but GMs are stupid as the prove year after year.

Only 17 people vote on the Conn Smythe? I figured the same writers who vote on the regular season awards would also vote for the CS.
Also, Jim Matheson is the Oilers' version of Yohe/Rossi. Massive homer that has zero business voting on these awards (no, it's not because of his McDavid vote).

He is, but his votes kinda make sense to me. Hyman 16 goals. Bouchard was almost historically good offensively for a D-man and solid defensively.
There's a very strong argument for both of them being better/more valuable than Barkov/Bob/Forsling/Verghaeghe.
So I don't have a problem with it.
I do take issue with Ryan S. Clark's first place vote though.

Pretty crazy how the 1st OA is from North Vancouver, my backyard, in back-to-back years. It's gonna be great for the city, sports-wise.
Good on Joe to show up and support him.
Pullin for the kid.

Not really. He was a 6th OA pick. Plus he was born in Edmonton. He only moved here.

@Sidney the Kidney your favorite fake Penguins fan is now going on the history board singing McDavid's praises.

He needs to change his avatar to Crosby just to be even more "unbiased".
"How could I possibly be a McDavid fanboy when I have a Crosby avatar?!"

Yeah he is more of a Bay area lad than a Vancouverite given his dad worked for the Golden State Warriors.
He literally grew up playing for the Jr Sharks U14 teams.
It's like Tyler Myers being born in Texas but being raised more in Canada.

So Tulsky's first move as GM was acquiring a #34 and #50 for a #27.
Damn. Wish we got him.

Three picks in the second round, I guess they didn't really see the players they wanted at #27 being an issue to get at the top of the second round.
At least the Pens have two picks in the second, I guess that's better than usual.

I saw that Sabres took Helenius at the Pens first. Small and not a quick skater isn't a good sign but the talent he has could over come that and some work with skating could get him another step.

That's easy to say mostly because the Pens have traded a lot of firsts.
Also I don't consider Olli Maatta a bad pick. That lad had a lot of weird health things that hindered him but he was good enough to win 2 cups playing vital minutes.
Pickering we'll see and Yager has been growing into a damn fine prospect. Poulin was the last one before those two, but yeah a lot of defensemen or weird reaches for the first round.
I feel like it came down to that pick or Koivunen. If that was the case, I'm ok with that.

Esposito, Despres, Bennett, Morrow, Maatta, Pouliot, Kapanen, Poulin
Sure, Maatta wasn't a failed pick. But if that's the best of the 8, that's pretty horrendous drafting.
In that same time frame (2008-2019), we drafted 10 times in round 3.
Guentzel, Rust, Murray, Sundqvist, Bortuzzo, Pierro-Zabotel, Hanowski, Hall, Phillips, Legare
I find it hilarious that R3 yielded more. This is why I don't dismiss picks just because they're not 1st rounders. Blomqvist is looking like a good 2nd rounder.
Yager looks promising right now. Pretty refreshing to see. I'm not optimistic with Pickering, but it's still early days.
By any chance do you have the other ballot? Don't the writers turn in two prior to the end of G7, one for each team winning? Correct me if I'm wrong about that. If so, I'd say Clark's first is definitely McD in the alternate Oil Cup universe.

JUMBEAU!
Mack is INCREDIBLY fun to watch. Curious to see what this new generation with him, Bedard and such have in them. Also still high on Matty Beniers and now Disco will be his coach. Will be tough to top the McDavid/MacKinnon crop.

I don't. Wasn't on the site I used.
That'd be hilarious to me though, if there's 2 separate ballots based on one game's outcome, for a full playoff award.
So one team gets a Max Talbot g7 performance from someone maybe and that somehow alters what the star players did over ~24 games? Ridiculous.
