Who Wins The Conn Smythe Trophy?

[Zerotonine]

McDavid the CLEAR favourite right now.

Had there ever been co-winners ???? Lol how would u chose between the 2? There stats are identical

 

[jonlin]

Barkov should be up there. He is taking the game to a whole other level, shutting down the opponents best, while hitting, blocking and doing take-aways too. His FO% is almost 60% aswell.

8gp 4g 8a 12p +3 28hits 15 takeaways. He is starting 51,2% D-zone

If there was a Conn-Smyth for PP-points and offensive play, then its McDavid. Barkov has arguable been the best player in theese playoffs overall.

 

[Gnome17]

McDavid right now is pacing to destroy Gretzkys playoffs run assists record. Gretzkys most is 31, McDavid is pacing for 45 in 21 games.
If McDavid keeps this pace for 23 games he will beat Gretzkys POINTS record in a playoffs run by assists alone.
For me its McDavid.

All he needs is his team advancing far enough.

 

[North Cole]

Mack (barring Nuke scoring like 20+ goals). It could be Makar but I think if they're reasonably close in production, the desire to give Mack one will be too high.
Mcdavid
Miller
Johnson? Dallas is hard, very committee like right now. Tanev is insane defensively but doesn't have the points. Otter looked human so far in R2.

Swayman
Shesty
Barkov

Those would be my picks by team so far. Some fans of their team might disagree. Didn't do Canes cause I think theyre toast now.

Oilers have to make a solid long run first. McDavid and Drai have been putting up godly numbers in playoffs the last 3 years, but it takes a team to make it to the finals and win a cup.

 

[Playoffsareoverrated]

I think the concept of the Conn Smythe should be different. I mean, it should be awarded to the playoff's most valuable player, not just to the player with the most points on the winning team. So yeah, McDavid is clearly the best player in the playoffs at the moment and should be the frontrunner for it.

Hope we see you in the finals.

Depends on whether you value goals over assists. Leon, Bouchard, and McDavid are in a 3 way tie.

 

[TheNumber4]

A Wild Bouchard has appeared!

 

[GreeningOil]

Bouchard has entered the chat!

 

[Deen]

Hard to overlook what Tkachuk is doing.

 

[Channelcat]

Hard to overlook what Tkachuk is doing.

Ya Barkov too

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Hard to overlook what Tkachuk is doing.

It's sort of easy to overlook by the historical offensive numbers being put up.

Like we have 2 players putting up the kinds of numbers 66 and 99 used to.
And Bouchard literally set the record for 2 rounds by a Dman.

Yes I know things tighten up in the later rounds. But these ares absolutely mind-bloggling stats against 2 of the stingiest teams in the league.

 

[Skolman]

Hard to overlook what Tkachuk is doing.

Not really when you see what McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard are doing in Edmonton.

 

[Rec T]

Ya Barkov too

Bob needs to be part of the Florida list

 

[Deen]

Need to make the finals to be considered imo.

 

[Mike C]

Bob needs to be part of the Florida list

More games like last night and he'll be more than just a guy on a list

 

[sadpanda]

Read somewhere Heiskanen has been playing over 200 minutes past 7 games without being on the ice for a single goal against. Still underrated..

 

[Hockeyholic]

Edmonton: Bouchard. He won't win it. They would give it to one of McDrai. But unlike McDrai, he has been consistently good to great in every game. No off nights. McDavid gets it probably.

Dallas: Heiskanen

Rangers: This might be the toughest one of all. Shesterkin by default imo. No other forward or D has been consistent enough

Florida: Barkov

This can all change because the SCF plays a huge part (Sans the glaring mistake in 03) in who wins it.

For NYR honestly it could be Trocheck. Lots of hockey left to be played but hes been their most important F.

Was he not on the ice when McD scored?

 

[Dust]

Was he not on the ice when McD scored?

Tanev/Lindell were on for all 3 goals against in game 1.
