Hart Trophy – NHL MVP
Connor McDavid – Edmonton Oilers
Really how do you not pick him. He is the fastest most electrifying player I can remember and that counts Gretzky.

Norris Trophy – Top Defenseman
Victor Hedman – Tampa Bay Lightning
A rock on defense. The Lightning are poised for a huge comeback season and Hedman will lead the way.
Vezina Trophy – Top Goalie
Andrei Vasilevskiy – Tampa Bay Lighting
The crease is all his in Tampa and he will rise to the occasion. Huge games played and huge numbers expected.
Calder Trophy – Top Rookie
Brock Boeser – Vancouver Canucks
Boeser will be a star in the NHL. The North Dakota superstar will carry that right to the NHL. He will get plenty of opportunities to show his stuff in Vancouver.
Jack Adams Trophy – Top NHL Coach
Ken Hitchcock – Dallas Stars
Hitch is back home in Dallas and his roster is loaded. With the net solidified in Dallas and a high-power offense. One of the greatest minds in all of hockey will lead the Stars to wins.
Art Ross Trophy – Most Points
Connor McDavid – Edmonton Oilers
He is the best in the league period!
Rocket Richard – Most Goals
Patrik Laine – Winnipeg Jets
Laine showed us his stuff last season. He may have the best shot in the league, and on a Jets team that is set for a breakout season, Laine will rack up the goals. His one timer on the power play is unstoppable.

I have played, coached, worked as statistician, and watched hockey all of my life. Hockey is not just a game, it is a lifestyle and family. The game of hockey is great!
