MacLean for sure. Kind of surprised Capuano didn't get a nomination. Quenville deserves this award as much as Bylsma. Both good coaches but they both have the easiest jobs in the NHL with those rosters.
No Michel Therrien? No other team overachieved more than the Canadiens not even the Senators. IMO they are a candidate to miss the playoffs next season as that roster is very mediocre.

With the injuries that the Senators dealt with this year and the fact that they beat the Canadiens to make it to the second round (still without their #1 center) is astounding.
The timeout call that caused the Canadiens to freak out is enough reason for me to want MacLean over Therrien for the award.
