I mean, c’mon, did the professional hockey writers have to make it so bloody obvious that they don’t look at anything other than who has the most points when deciding who to vote for? This would be like if they gave the Oscar’s to whatever film grossed the most money, “This year’s Oscar for best actor goes to… Buzz Lightyear!!!”.

Fucking hilarious.

I’m firmly ensconced in the “Trophies Make Players More Expensive” camp, so not upset.

We know Carlson is a great player who’s likely only going to get better. If he’s under the radar a bit, all the better for us.

Casual hockey fans are light-years ahead of the writers in understanding true player value at this point.

But what’s incredible, and what that article illuminates, is that the writers fail at applying their own standards! Because they have none!

I think the voters are like refs/Campbell’s Wheel O’Justice: we just want a consistent coherent system.
