Surely this will be fun to look back on in 10 years

I think if Carolina wasn't as deep as they are, Jackson Blake would at least be in the conversation. He's played really well on the 4th line and he has a nose for the net. He's also done well on the second power play getting a goal and an assist.

I understand why he’s not getting more attention here and I’m not saying he’s on the tier of a Celebrini or Michkov going forward, but people are really sleeping on Blake. He’s been very good during this first quarter of the season. Second in goals among rookies and he passes the eye test, very shifty player who gets no press at all.

I like Celebrini more then Bedard, More of a complete player.

Ahhh yes, the other half where you narrowed down from 4 frontrunners, to 2. Gutsy.

You are strange. My goal wasn’t to be “gutsy”. There’s nothing wrong with predicting the two it will come down to in a field of 5 or 6. Lots of people have been doing similar.

Zellweger's had 6 points in his last 5 games on a low scoring Ducks team.
Small sample size I know.

Hard to say. As unfair as it is he probably wouldn't really be in the convo given the offense shown from some of the other guys, and the unreal play from Wolf. It's hard for defenseman to win a lot of awards, and as he's not really an offensive guy with this rookie class looking very strong, he'd be on the outside looking in.

Hmm, might not be worth arguing this point too much. But is lack of production really it?

He's got more points than Michkov, Hutson and Celebrini on ES.
