voting in some ways a little reluctantly for Stromgren as there is actually a pretty tight needle to thread here
I think there are safer Jooris award picks (Morton, Solovyov, Kuznetzov, maybe even Kerins) and guys with longer runways (Stockeslius, Misa) whereas things pretty much have to happen for WS this year, and yet he hasn't been given (or earned? ) a cup of coffee even thus far
yet I think he's shown year over year growth and I think there is still a reality where he carves out 400 games as a fixture on the Flames 3rd line. would like to see him get some Backlund/Coleman time this year
(and still trying to figure out where to slot the next goalie. goalies are tough anyhow and we may well have at least a 1a for a while but there are 2 I like)
