Conn Smythe: Brayden Point

That would be fun seeing the final go to 7 because it almost never does. That 2nd round seems like it would be really exciting too with 3 game 7s and a 6 game series. How would Point win the Conn Smythe over Stamkos, Kucherov, Hedman and even Vasilevskiy?

Point is good.

So are Kucherov, Hedman, Stamkos, and Vasilevskiy.

Who are you going to try and shut down first, Stamkos and Kuch? Or Point and his line?

Okay, but if Point has a better playoff run than any of them it's possible he wins the Conn Smythe.

JFC stop making everything so freaking difficult.

It’s pretty simple. How does Justin Williams win the Conn Smythe in 2014 over Kopitar, Doughty, Quick, etc.?

Fair enough. It's a bold prediction but it's possible.

The Leafs are now just so good that they can finally ... lose in the final. lol

I guess the Jets bring the cup back to Canada and ALSO become the rare Presidents Trophy winning team to also win the cup the same year.

Just got Siri to make predictions. Did it by asking it to pick numbers, coin flips, etc. Here's what it decided:

1 – TOR
2 – BOS
3 – FLA

1 – CAR**
2 – PIT
3 – WSH

WC1 – PHI
WC2 – NJD

1 – WPG
2 – CHI
3 – MIN

1 – ANA*
2 – CGY
3 – ARI

WC1 – VGK
WC2 – EDM

TOR over PHI in 6
BOS over FLA in 6
NJD over CAR in 5
WSH over PIT in 7
VGK over WPG in 7
MIN over CHI in 4
ANA over EDM in 6
ARI over CGY in 7

BOS over TOR in 5
WSH over NJD in 7
MIN over VGK in 6
ANA over ARI in 5

BOS over WSH in 5
ANA over MIN in 4

ANA over BOS in 4

**-Presidents' trophy
*-Top regular season team in conference

Playoffs - way too soon to even bother guessing

I guess we're assuming he'll play?

I guess we’re assuming you don’t know that Sasha is his name and thought you could make a smartass comment yet failed

ok

I'm sure he'll be back for next season. My question is, who does Panarin win the Hart trophy with? CBJ?

Yes

And he then re-signs i'm guessing?

Yes

And is McDavid gonna get traded to the Penguins?

No

ok
