The voters definitely give the edge to seniors because they assume underclassmen will have another chance to win, but I'd be shocked if LeBlanc gets it. I haven't seen him as much as the other 2 guys (until recently, I lived within walking distance of Quinnipiac's campus, and I'm a BC alum, so I've seen a lot of Gaudreau and Hartzell), but I really think those two are on a different level than LeBlanc. I don't know how you compare a forward to a goalie, but they usually seem to have a slight preference for forwards, so there's a very good chance the Gaudreau takes it.
