TBH it's a toss up this year. It is so tough to knock on the merits of any of those players.
Ekblad as an 18 year old playing top line minutes and put up the numbers he did, which is rare.
Johnny, well we know what Johnny has accomplished, especially right out of college and with his stature.
Stone really was one of the main reasons Ottawa made the playoffs, especially when voting was conducted at the end of the season and that was the biggest highlight on the last day.
Personally I don't want to see Stone get it because of him being invisible for the first half of the season, that would be a piss off, while Johnny and Ekblad were pretty consistent year round.
