Since the all-star break, Stone is averaging over a point a game and sits 5th in points...out of ALL players. Not just rookies!
Again, if the Sens make the playoffs, you can't fault a writer for voting Stone over Gaudreau. They've both had incredible seasons and it wouldn't be an injustice if one won it over the other. Throw Ekblad into the mix and it'll be a total toss-up!

Agreed. Lucky for us and Ottawa no matter who wins it we both have a heck of a player. Like I said, taking nothing away from Stone. Wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if he wins it. However (taking my homerism into account), I think Johnny wins it based on contribution/impact as a whole, across the entire season.
