Is the first one the winner? If so, no way Maurice wins it ahead of Gallant. Here's my Jack Adams vote:
Winner: Gerard Gallant
Other Finalists: Gerard Gallant, Gerard Gallant

Can you explain having Maurice winning the Adams over Gallant?

I think that Maurice has done a better job of managing his players before Gallant. I feel that if someone like Dave Hakstol was the head of Vegas and Winnipeg, Vegas would have similar results to their current production than Winnipeg would have with Hakstol.

Everything is relative. I believe that Vegas would have very similar production with another coach relative to Winnipeg with Maurice.

I get where you're coming from, but there's no way to prove that, is there.

I could say given he coached them in Florida and played a role in brining them to the club, you have to think that Gallant is largely responsible for the highly successful seasons of Marchessault and Smith. I'm not sure another coach would have that influence, but then again as to my first point, there's no way to prove what I'm saying.

The main reason he would win, is because he's led a Vegas group whom many thought would finish last, yet are now amongst the top. He's taken a group of castaways and made a playoff contender out of it. You can't say the same thing about any other coach.

Quoting: krakowitz
Vezina - Pekka RInne (Gibson, Andersen)


All 3 goalies that you chose have been lights out, but I'm not sure if it's possible to leave Vasilevsky out of the Vezina race. Whether he wins or not is definitley debatable, but he has earned the right to be a for-sure nominee.

Quoting: EthanK24
Vezina:
Winner: Andre Vasilevsky
Runner-Ups: Connor Hellebyuck, Marc-Andre Fleury


While Fleury has had nothing short of a solid season, his lack of matches due to injury probably eliminates him from Vezina conversation

I guess my main contention would be that Paul Maurice isn't as replaceable as Gallant.

I think the way Vasilevskiy has played as of late may push him out of the top three, especially when compared to what all these other guys have done.
