Rookie of the year!

So who do you think? I think Ryder will get it.

Of those three, Raycroft. But I think that if Zherdev played the whole season he'd win it.

true, zherdev is sick. if only Nasher was still a rookie.....

I hope Ryder gets it, he is curently one of the best players on the Habs. Again tonight he scored and had one assist, he is consistent and one of the biggest surprises this years, he never gave up even after going in the ECHL.

Zherdev hasn't done crap for me in any league I've had, so I'd go with Raycroft.

i said ryder....then again...i live in montreal and am patriotic of my team(if dats grammatically correct) :D but i also like colorado ....but yes...i really do hope ryder gets it....but what about other candidates....im sure theres another rookie dats doing good...i just cant remember his name right now :(

i'd go with raycroft. out of all the rookies, i believe he's done the most for his team. boston has been surging the last half of the season and he's been a rock in the net for them. ryder is a close second though.

I think Ryder will get it for sure. He has been an impact player for Montreal in only his first season. Raycroft has played good, no doubt, but I just don't think the Bruins needed him as much as Montreal needed Ryder.

i think the bruins totally needed him. they have been looking for consistant reliable goaltending for a couple seasons now. potvin was just way too streaky. motreal could have had someone else step up and score. or just play better defense to make up for the lack of goals. solid goaltending is where its at. in terms of total value for the team, raycroft is definately more important in my eyes.

I am going to go with Raycroft becasue he has contributed to his team, in the most efective ways.

Is Hunter the scary looking dude with the bald head and the gotee? I think thats who im thinking of, saw him in the young stars game. just how he looked scared the crap out of me.

I think Ryder should get it. He is one of the top scoring rookies and he has made a bigger impact on the Habs then Raycroft has with his team.

my vote has to definetly go with raycroft, seen the kid play and he's great between the pipes. That and he pretty much has saved the bruins this years.

LOL, he's leading the isles in points as a rookie.

Ryder. He's one of the few reasons the Habs are in the playoffs.

Imagine if the NHL had a sophomore trophy. Ribeiro and Nash would be there.

[D3nZ 0]

Yeah Ribeiro is having a great year too, he surely shut all the critics up in Montreal. Too bad he's not a fast skater though, that's the only thing i can complain about him cause he has a great vision of the play and great hands.

That would be agood idea.....but i think a most improved player trophy would better

[Guest phillyfan]

I hope, Mr. Pitkanen. Most likely, from what I saw Bergeron do, he looked pretty solid. Zherdov is also a probably candidate.

[Chadd 916]

I think Bergeron was more impressive than Ryder or Hunter prior to his injury.

[mooseheads_14 0]

I'm gonna have to go with Ryder on this one. He's one of Montreals top players already. I've been impressed with him this season.

Where's the love for trent hunter.... we need more isles fans on the site :)

[Chadd 916]

Hunter really tailed off after the first of the year or so.

What about Ryan Malone! He has been putting up quite a bit of points on the worst team in the nhl...

[GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0]

The 3 in the poll are better then him. take a look at Malone's plus/minus. That shows how good his defensive game is.
