Thanks for saying “top three”. It’s super picky but “finalists” bugs me. It makes it seem like there’s a contest remaining. There isn’t.

Potentially last season of his career and still nominated for the selke

[OldSam]

Bergeron. Absolutely one of my favorites.

[GranteedEV]

Bergeron is the modern day Lidstrom eh

[Paulie Walnuts]

When was the last time a winger won? Jere Lithenen?

[Funkhouser]

Thought Backlund may get nominated this year. Odd that all three are out East

[Cali Panthers Fan]

What, no Kadri?

Finalist makes a lot more sense than "nominee".

I'm OK with the term finalist.

I didn't see Marner becoming a Selke candidate when he first came into the league.

Neither make sense - all players are finalists and nominees. “Top three” is accurate.

It would be shocking if Bergeron doesn't win again for the final time. 58 points, +35, and 61% on face-offs as a 37 year old on a Boston team that had a record-breaking regular season.

Great player, great person, and his legacy is cemented as one of the best defensive players of all time, but I'm actually excited to see who the next golden boy for the Selke will be for the next 10 years, I'll be putting some money down on Lindholm, Hischier, or Barkov for next season.
