Now that the Stanley Cup Finals are over, we can now wait for the NHL Awards. An Award show dedicated to Hockey players and coaches, gm's and more. So here are the nomines and my predictions fro the NHL Awards 2016.
General Manager of the year
Nominated:
Brian MacLellan WSH
Jim Nill DAL
Jim Rutherford PIT
Jim Ritherford will win this for sure because, A: They won the cup with the help of the players he got. B: those players are Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino, Matt Cullen, Eric Fehr, and more. C: he called young guys like Bryan Rust, Connor Sheary, Tom Kuhnhackl and Matt Murray who led the Penguins to the cup and would probably be their future number one goalie. These are the reasons why he will win.
Jack Adams Trophy
Nominated:
Gerard Gallant FLA
Lindy Ruff DAL
Barry Trotz WSH
Gallant has to win this, because of him the Florida Panthers had an incredible season with the help of Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov, Jaromir Jagr, Aaron Eklbad, Roberto Luongo and many more who were coached by him. He should win for sure. Lindy Ruff coached a great team because of the players he got in trades ( Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza, Patrick Sharp) and Barry Trotz helped the Capitals last year and it's not because of a great season of Alex Ovechkin and Braden Hotlby that he will win. Gallant helped a bad team become a great team. That whats a great coach.
Hart Memorial Trophy
Nominated:
Jamie Benn DAL
Sidney Crosby PIT
Patrick Kane CHI
Crosby will win this for sure. It's because of him that Pittsburg has the reputation of a good hockey team. Not just because of him but a majority is because of him. He bounced back of what it almost been a terrible season with there old coach. Since the Mike Sullivan arrived, Sidney Crosby has been a beast on the ice and it's because of him the team is where they are now.
Ted Lindsay Award
Nominated:
Jamie Benn DAL
Braden Holtby WSH
Patrick Kane CHI
No questions about it, Patrick Kane will win this trophy. He is the most outstanding player this year with breaking a record has the most points made in a season by an Amercian hockey player with 106 points. He was best player ever. Holtby had an incredible year but come on, Patrick Kane has to win this one for sure.
Art Ross Trophy Winner: Patrick Kane CHI
Maurice Richard Trophy Winner: Alex Ovechkin WSH
William M. Jennings Trophy Winners: Frederik Andersen and John Gibson ANA
Vezina Trophy
Nominated:
Ben Bishop TBL
Braden Holtby WSH
Jonathan Quick LAK
No need for nominations, we all know that Braden Holtby has been the the best goalie this year with 48 wins this season almost beating a record. He is the main reason why the Capitals has been great this year no need to explain this, Holtby wins this.
James Norris Memorial Trophy
Nominated:
Brent Burns SJS
Drew Doughty LAK
Erik Karlsson OTT
Brent Burns needs to win this. Karlsson makes alot of points but thats all. He won last year because he made points and helped his team to go to the playoffs. Burns made the playoffs, has gotten to the Stanley Cup Finals and has produced alot during the regular season and post season. Brent Burns needs to win this if he doesn't the NHL is stupid.
Calder Memorial Trophy
Nominated:
Shayne Gostisbehere PHI
Connor McDavid EDM
Artemi Panarin CHI
Panarin is the rookie skater with the most points this year. McDavid doesn't deserve this trophy because he got injured almost the entire season so he didn't play all the entire season. Panarin played with Kane and it got him alot of points in the top 10 leaderboard. He has to win this award for sure.
Frank J. Selke Trophy
Nominated:
Patrice Bergeron BOS
Ryan Kesler ANA
Anze Kopitar LAK
Kopitar is always playing defensive on the ice and offensive also. He had an incredible season, and he got a really big contract because of it. He coulc possibly be the next captain of the Kings. Kopitar and Bergeron are always the winners of this trophy but this year it will be Anze Kopitar.
Lady Byng Memorial Trophy
Nominated:
Aleksander Barkov FLA
Loui Eriksson BOS
Anze Kopitar LAK
Loui Eriksson is an intresting pick for me. There has been alot of rumours about him being traded but had the best season with Boston. Boston cannot get rid of him. They almost got into the playoffs but Loui Eriksson is a big part of the Bruins success. He should win this.
Messier Leadership Award
Nominated:
Alex Ovechkin WSH
John Tavares NYI
Shea Weber NSH
I think this award the guys nominated for this one are odd a little bit. Ovechkin has been great but not worth captain performence, he is a good captain but not enough for being nominated for this trophy, Shea Weber could win this one but John Tavares will win this one. He has been a great leader for his team and helped alot of youngs guys and veterans to play good hockey. He will win this for sure.
Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
Nominated:
Pascal Dupuis PIT
Jaromir Jagr FLA
Mats Zuccarello NYR
Zuccarello could win this. Jagr will not win this because it's not by being old and making alot of points that you win this trophy. Pascal Dupuis i wouldn't be surprised if he wins this. He had to retire because of his medical conditions and his team won the cup, maybe just because of that he could win. Zuccarello had a big concussion and lost the ability to talk. He still played hard and helped his team to success. He deserves this award for still playing no matter what.
NHL Foundation Player Award
Nominated:
Mark Giordano CGY
Matt Martin NYI
PK Subban MTL
They should all win this award because they are helping communities for the better. But if i had the chose to pick a winner it has to be Subban. He's from Montreal my team and he gave the childreens hospital 10 millions dollars for 7 years. That is something truly great to do to help people and he always helps communities because they helped him.
Those are my predictions. Thanks for reading this have a great day :)
