I can't see Datsyuk winning the Selke. I also think folks will make a case for Thornton for the Hart. I doubt he'll win but he will get plenty of consideration.

Honestly I wasn't really sure who to pick for that one. Datsyuk is currently +41 and I know he kills penalties, so I went with him. Another guy I was thinking of is Sharp, who is +20 on a bad team with 7 SH goals.

What about Bruce Boudreau for the Adams? He took a bottom of the league team from last year and turned them into a playoff contender. Granted Ovechkin did have a great year but still.

[chippa13 1844]

That will be a tough sell if the Caps don't make the playoffs.

Adams: Boudreau if Caps make playoffs

[RadioGaGa 162]

I think Boudreau deserves the Adams whether they make it or miss by 1 point. The fact that they are still IN it after the AWFUL start they had is pretty damn amazing and Bruce has a LOT to do with that.
