If McPhee doesn't win...
Where is Bergevin?
Nah - I think a big part of this is the perception of how successful deadline moves were (specifically big-time rentals). So waiting for some of the playoffs to see if someone who gambled big is winning or busted makes sense.Weird that this award cares about two rounds of playoffs, one of the more swingy times of the year. Should just be regular season, but media be cray-crazy I guess.
GM is voted on after the first two rounds (unlike the other noms).These nominations are completed at the end of the regular season, the NHL just doesn't announce it right away, has nothing to do with any playoff rounds.
McPhee is the clear cut obvious choice.
