Lady Byng finalists announced, lack of Sharks upsetting

Aleksander Barkov, Loui Eriksson and Anze Kopitar were all named as finalists for the Lady Byng trophy, which goes "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability."

Are we sure a King should be nominated for such an award?

In all seriousness, all three choices are great. Barkov had a breakout season leading the Florida Panthers to the playoffs and only had eight penalty minutes on the season. Eriksson's name was all over during the trade deadline and his level of play never waned during that time.
