None of us here at Fear the Fin are members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association or the NHLPA, nor are we players or General Managers, which means we don’t have a vote at tonight’s NHL Awards.
What we do have, however, is the power of this blog to publish our “ballots” for all of the award winners announced at tonight’s proceedings, except for the Masterton and Ted Lindsay, given the difficulty of choosing among the three nominees with the former, and the latter’s status as a player-voted award.
So, seven writers (including the author of this post) anonymously submitted ballots for the Hart Trophy, Norris Trophy, Vezina Trophy, Calder Trophy, Selke Trophy, Lady Byng Trophy, Jack Adams Award, and General Manager of the Year Award.
