Other than that, he's getting nothing. Voters in ON will vote for Wolf or Celebrini (certainly not a MTL or PHI player). That just leaves the rest of the West (outside of central AB) and the rest of the US (outside of SJS and PHI)... Wolf is American, Celebrini is Canadian. That'll go however it goes, I guess.

A defenceman working the point is more likely to get secondary assists. They set up the plays and create the space. D-men get fewer actual goals themselves. Hughes has a career high of 17 goals. Makar is the only d-man at 30 goals or likely to get close to that total.
