Award Prediction: Ted Lindsay

The Ted Lindsay Award. In our view, this is one of the most honorable things that a player can win. Every year this is given to the player judged to be the MVP of the league. You might read that and say that it is the same as the Hart Memorial Trophy. What makes this such a special honor is that the winner (as well as the nominees) is determined by the player (both active and former) of the National Hockey League. For people that play against you all year, and most likely are not in favor of you, to put the rivalries aside and recognize your brilliance is something that every player in the league takes great honor in.

On to the nominees. This year the nominees are the same as the ones for the Hart Memorial. So, to keep it short and sweet, we are not going to give the same full description as we did the the HMT.

We are going to go straight to the winner...
