Don't get me wrong he's a good player but not in my top 50. Pacioretty or Mark Stone would take his spot.
But at the time, how could you exclude a near Selke calibre player (second in voting, barely lost to Kopitar) who put up almost a point-per-game?

These lists have to have a recency bias as last year's results are the best at determining next. Every once in awhile you have a fluke player or player in the right circumstances, of course.
