I could see Seider or Zegras winning.

 

When it feels like a tossup, I like to lean towards the defenseman. But Zegras' highlight reel plays might give him the edge by voters.

[Zhukini]

I'd give it to Mo but I think Zegras gets it

[jatylo]

I would like to see Zegras getting it. He is such a fun player to watch.

Anyone but Bunting to be honest. A 26 year-old with 2 partial seasons in the NHL and over 300 AHL games shouldn't be considered a rookie anymore even it he is eligible 

[stawns]

Seider and I don't even think it'll be close

[AV.]

It should be Seider.

[Bounce000]

It would be criminal if Bunting wins. 26 years old, 6 pro years before this year, and riding shotgun with Matthews. I’m surprised he even got nominated over Raymond.

[NUCKER67]

Bunting?!   

 

sad if that's the best the NHL has

Leaked video - Bunting practicing his dance moves incase he wins.

It is amazing how close he skirts every single eligibility requirement.  He JUST turned 26 immediately after the season started (he had to be 25 at the start), played 5 games in 2019 and 21 games in 2021 (meeting the one-year and two-year limits).  Gets crazier when you consider how short last season was.

 

Surely they won't give it to him and avoid dealing with any criteria changes.

Seider should win in a landslide and it shouldn't even be close. The fancy moves of Zegras might get him some votes though. Seider is already a #1 defenseman in the NHL, with a well-rounded game both offensively and defensively.

He's got some snarl in him too, just a great all-around d-man that I hope can grab a Norris as a 40 point d-man in the future.

I'm fine with Seider and Moritz, but I think Moritz is too low key and Zegras will win it.

 

I'm pretty convinced Bunting won't win, he only made the list because he played in Toronto and probably got a lot of 2nd,3rd place vote by local writers.  Can't comprehend some would give him 1st place vote over the other two.

[HKSR]

50pts as a rookie defenceman that can play in any situation, has size, speed, and snarl... man, the definition of franchise defenceman. 

 

He should win it without a doubt. 

[DS4quality]

Seider was amazing for Detroit, to be a defenseman on a bad team and play like he did. 

 

[Coconuts]

If it's not Seider they'll have gotten it wrong 

[Fanuck]

Seider, or we'll know it's rigged.

Seider by a landslide, entertainment factor of Zegras could make things interesting. Bunting f%*# off.
