For all the stone is better defensively and gets the pk talk, Johnny was on the ice in the last minute of a 1 goal game to clinch a playoff spot. So just because the coach doesn't use him on the PK should detract from his status. He is relied on in all situations by his team both offensively and defensively.

Overall I think Johnny wins because of hype. He's locked up the Boston, NewYork, Pennsylvania vote. The road trip when Gio got hurt was the Gaudreau show. Whose going to win, no name player playing his 3rd pro season on some small market Canadian team Orr 5-9 hobey baker winning, World jr winning, American superstar in the making who led his team to the playoffs.

Johnny is the better story so he will get the votes.
