As you all know, yesterday was a day of celebration for the NHL. All the skill, points and supreme individual performances were awarded with the league’s highest honors. I was really pleased by the fact that (outside of Miller not getting the consideration for the Hart) all the awards went to deserved winners. Duncan Keith was the outstanding defenseman of the year, Ryan Miller was tested by Ilya Bryzgalov but in the end had a better season in consideration for the Vezina, Datsyuk should get his own award for owning the Selke Trophy etc. That’s all fine and dandy, but how is this related to the Leafs? Well, in this one I will try to compare some the current NHL award holders with our own Leafs and project the chances of a Leaf being up there on the podium sooner rather than later.
