Staal wasn’t even the best defensive player on the canes this year
Matthews winning both Rocket Richard and Selke would be quite an achievement. I’m betting it never happened before.
Staal isn’t bad. He probably has some of the greatest defensive responsibilities in the league, even if his underlying numbers are a bit underwhelming
I’m low-key hoping for Matthews to take it but realistically Barkov has earned it more
Like it or not, FO % still matters to a lot of voters. The PK didn’t help JEEs chances either, even though there’s 3 other guys out there.
