Reasons:
1. Matthews won the vote
2. Kucherov leads NHL in points
3. Reilly leads dmen in points
4. Skinner 2nd in goals in NHL
5. Pastrnak is having a great season
6. I picked Larkin over Domi for the final forward slot. He has more points than Domi and I want to see him race McDavid. I almost gave the Detroit spot to Howard because he's been unbelievable this season.
6. Stone leads the Sens in Goals and Points. Plus Chabot it injured.
7. Yandle is 8th among defensemen in points in the league and 3rd in the Atlantic. Plus Chabot is injured.
8. Petry was picked because I needed a defense and Montreal spot. Kind of like Mike Green last year.
9. Anderson is injured so it was pretty easy to pick Vasya and Halak. Howard deserved a look too.
