Okposo, Tarasenko, Price and Hayes are my top 4.
Getzlaf to me shouldn't be considered as a finalist. Didn't really overcome anything...he's just retiring (and retiring young to be honest).

More on Tanvev's remarkable hockey journey, courtesy of Wes Gilbertson:
Quote:
As a high-school student, still waiting on a growth spurt and separated from some of his closest pals and longtime teammates, Chris Tanev’s parents wanted to protect their son from any further hockey heartache. At that point, an extended career on a big-league blue-line — the latest addition to Tanev’s stellar resume came Monday, when the 32-year-old was revealed as the Calgary Flames’ nominee for the Masterton Trophy — seemed like a pipe-dream, or whatever is a little more far-fetched than that.
“In Grade 10 and 11, I was really small. I was about 5 feet tall,” Tanev said, reminiscing about his unique road to the NHL. “I was cut from tons of teams so it just wasn’t fun for me. I mean, when you play from when you’re six or seven until 14 with sort of the same people and then, all of a sudden, your friends are making that next step and you’re not able to play anymore or not able to make a team, it’s not fun and it sucks.
“So my parents — mom and dad, but dad especially — just said to take a step away. I played a lot of baseball. Played roller hockey, which was fun. And then when I grew again, my dad did a good job of pushing me to go play junior. So I went from not playing for two years basically to going to play Junior A.”

A Tanev has the regular 10 levels, whereas a Tanvev is specially built, and can be turned up to 11

All I can get
|
Tanvev is the equivalent to six Giordanvos.

Maybe he doesn't win but Tanev to me is one of the best stories on the team. Man he has been steady and every partner he has improves because Chris just doesn't have many weaknesses in his game.
Solid positioning, warrior, good in the room etc etc etc.
One of Tres best trades after getting us Noah and Lord Zebulon.

I thought he signed with us as a FA?
