All three of those candidates are good choices IMO. Can make a solid argument for any of them.</p>

I really like what the Walrus did in Ottawa though, I think he wins it considering he had just about zero in terms of "star power" for stretches of the season. At one point Anderson, Karlsson, and Spezza were all out with injury... Ottawa easily could have had a season similar to the "injury-riddled" Panthers (or so was the excuse in Florida). Of course, the Hawks start was nothing short of spectacular, and honestly Boudreau did a commendable job as well with a team that completely whiffed on even making the post-season last year.</p>
