Unless Bedard is caught shagging a sheep he will win in a walk

He’s had a very nice season but I just see this as Bedard’s at this point. I’d expect Kochetkov to finish third behind Faber. Maybe Hughes pushes Kochetkov to fourth in just skeptical he gets that many votes for first to make it close. Good call though as a dark horse.

Dickinson* more goals scored for the Hawks this season what Bedard in his rookie season (with 3+ fewer minutes in avg per game ice time)
- Dickinson previous season best was 9 goals (in 65 games for Dallas in 19-20 season), scored 9 last season as well (78 games)

Flip it, turn it, bump it all the way, its still 0% what people would have predicted..
as in... if anyone would have said Dickinson will score more goals in the 23-24 season what Bedard..

Hawks do have 1 game left though


*61 career goals in 442 career games

I could see Kochetkov stealing this one. Super close race, this year. Still think Bedard wins, though.

I think luke is better relative to position as well.

My ballot in all honesty is:

1: Bedard
2: Nemec
3: Faber
4: Hughes
5: Carlsson
6. Mintyukov
7: Cooley
8: Rossi
9: Zary
10. Woll

Would Pavel Dorofeyev rank on a list like this if he did not miss so much of the season?

I don't think there would be enough voters willing to vote Bedard or Faber in third place which is what Kochetkov would need to sneak in and steal with a plethora of second place votes.

Why. They had the best rookie defensemen and another top 5 position player. They had two of the best rookies last season.

because they lost the award that was so important to them (some of them).

I think you would find that the vast majority of Wild fans are unphased and generally excited about the youth of the team moving forward.
