It would be a travesty if he didn't win but it would hardly be the first time this franchise has been jobbed out of a major award because of geographic location. I put his odds at 50/50. Muta said it best: No player above $5.25m cap hit, second lowest payroll, written off by everyone as a bottom 3 team, finished 27th year prior, tons of rookies playing key and minor roles. Not really sure what else he'd have to do to make more of a case? If this was an eastern team and not the flames, he'd probably be a unanimous winner.
