Hayes, Fast.

 

[Fitzy]

Exact same. To me, Fast has played a ton of games for us and been pretty consistently one of our top two penalty killers.

I was a little torn between he and Brian Boyle though. Boyle also had a really big defensive impact.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Voted Hayes and Fast but Boyle and Moore were both tempting choices as well.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Hayes, Buchnevich.

I feel like Fast stands little chance, but he has been such a solid, dependable player for a long time. He often played above his head. Was asked to do things he couldn't do. But he comes out every night and plays hard, sound hockey.

MSL played here for a season and a quarter. I know the cutoff was lower but I can;t seriously consider a guy that didn't even play 100 games.

And he was an unmitigated disaster after his knee injury in 14-15.

I just picture that 5-on-3 against Tampa where he and Boyle were playing the point and gave up a shorthanded breakaway goal. Nightmare.
