Playing alongside @CT 66 and @Shockz, he's already proving that he can play with and against the best of the best and that he will become a danger for every line that'll be opposed to him in upcoming seasons. 2. @cj142 (DET) Record : 19-6-2 (vs playoffs teams) : 8-4-2 (vs non playoffs teams) : 11-2-0 +/- : +34 Takeaways : 117 Goals against average : 1.89/game FO% : 50.4% CJ has been a key part for his team all season long. The Detroit Red Wings owner has been involved in 9 one goal game wins and also had an impressive 117 takeaways. Playing most of the season with @th4 x w4ll and @XxNash61xX, he's put up 72 points while also helping his defense every game. 3. @SamDelisle9 (PIT) Record : 19-5-5 (vs playoffs teams) : 15-4-3 (vs non playoffs teams) : 4-1-2 +/- : +29 Takeaways : 97 Goals against average : 1.86/game FO% : 54.4% Known for being one of the best defensive forwards in the game, SamDelisle is once again nominated for the Selke Trophy this seasons and it's definitly deserved. He's played a total of 22 playoffs games this season wich gave many opportunities to his teammates on different lines to put up good numbers against weaker competition. 4. @CaLL Me Jakoo (ANA) Record : 23-4-0 (vs playoffs teams) : 11-2-0 (vs non playoffs teams) : 12-2-0 +/- : 54 Takeaways : 76 Goals against average : 1.89/game FO% : 55% Playing alongside Rated R teammates @Ya Boy Yahtzee, @DeLong x 22 and @Nraimondi44 this season, the Anaheim Ducks owner has showed that chemistry is a key part in this game. His +/- of +54 proves that pretty much every line he's played against had it rough because not only did he put up 85 points, he was also the anchor on a great defensive Anaheim teams all season long. 5. @DeeSa Ali (PHI) Record : 18-3-8 (vs playoffs teams) : 9-3-7 (vs non playoffs teams) : 9-0-1 +/- : +16 Takeaways : 130 Goals against average : 2.28/game FO% : 56.5% Despite playing with differents players most of the season, Carch never slowed down and dominated most defensive statistics every game. He's also the Selke Trophy finalist with the most takeaways with 130. Overall, it was a great season for everyone's favorite @DeeSa Ali! 6. @jared2112 (NSH) Record : 22-4-3 (vs playoffs teams) : 13-2-3 (vs non playoffs teams) : 9-2-0 +/- : +30 Takeaways : 89 Goals against average : 1.97/game FO% : 54.3% Jared has made a name for himself this season playing with Black Ice teammates @NINETY ElGHT and @jackD00P.

Sammy played the last half of the season with blick aka best defensive winger in the leee and brando who is all defense no offense . Also Steve b is best goalie so yea he had a lot of help
Yes, Sammy gets defensive help from two defensive d-men in Me+Brando, but he also gets zero help on breakouts and zone entries because Brando is bad at the buttons, and I completely refused to jump into the play AT ALL this season. He yells at me once a game for not jumping up, but I love him anyway. Give Sammy his Selke please.
Yeah sam had to carry me all summer until he got tired of me then kicked me off his line because i was costing
i think there needs to be a lil more depth into this selection. All playoff teams have holes in their lineups, there isnt a team with 3 first liners at every position. For instance you could play the 3rd line of a playoff team thats trying to suicide against a good team. Or you could play a non playoff team such as the yotes and the mp7 line or the blues and the tendy line. Im sure the comittee will do it, but this is just for community votes and just having it as records against playoff teams and non playoff is a lil misleading
Click The Google Doc Link for more and all of the in depth stats . . . The lines each finalist played is the last thing we look at bc playoff/fringe playoff and non playf can be misleading. However, guys can only go so far as to sign up for certain games, its pretty tough to penalize someone for another team putting a weaker line out or decide that one guy [lays with weaker line mates and another guys plays with better line mates. Is that the players fault or is that great mgmt? As for that hurting, that would only matter in the Hart bc that's MOST VALUABLE player whereas the other awards are just based on the statistics produced on the season.
