Selke Trophy: Best Defensive Forward

Nominees:
Ryan Kesler, Mike Richards, Pavel Datsyuk

 Winner: Mike Richards finally takes this award

 Norris Trophy: Best Defenseman

Nominees: Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Zdeno Chara

(bleacherreport.com)

 Winner: Zdeno Chara, Chara has a big year as he looks for a new contract.

 Vezina Trophy: Best goaltender

Nominees: Ryan Miller, Martin Brodeur, Jon Quick

(blog.suntimes.com)

Winner: Miller takes this award, Brodeur’s too old to be elite…tho still a talent, and I can’t see Quick duplicating his success from last year.

 Jennings Award: Fewest Goals Allowed

(committedindians.com)

Winner: Marty Turco

Turco’s an underrated goalie who will face next to nothing in net because of how great the Hawks Defense is, this award will be won by Keith/Seabrook/Hjallmarsson more than Turco, but Turco’s name will be on the trophy.


Calder Trophy: Rookie of the Year

Nominees: Taylor Hall, Tyler Seguin, someone else (Ed. Note - Jordan Eberle)…it’s the Taylor vs. Tyler rematch!

(prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com)

Winner: Tyler Seguin wins this award having decent numbers…say 60-65pts on a solid Bruins team.

 Lady Byng

Nominees: Chris Pronger, Steve Downie, Sean Avery (just kidding)

Real Nominees: Martin St. Louis, Pavel Datsyuk, Brad Richards

(zimbio.com)

 Winner: Martin St. Louis again, just to watch his 5’5” frame give a speech. (Ed. Note - I want to see him give another one from his Blackberry)


Jack Adams: Coach of the Year

Nominees: Dave Tippett, John Maclean, Peter Laviolette

Winner: Maclean wins the award for surviving Lou and the jelly tossed at him in NJ.
