Thought since we're half way through the fantasy hockey playoffs, I'd list out top 10 candidates for our Conn Smythe Winner! Things will obviously change depending on who makes the finals!
1. Zach Parise - 31.1 pts - Toronto Maple Leafs
2. Jamie Benn - 25.8 pts - Toronto Maple Leafs
3. Steve Mason - 25.6 pts - New York Rangers
4. Ryan Johansen - 24.1 pts - Philadelphia Flyers
5. Joe Pavelski - 22.9 pts - Toronto Maple Leafs
6. Jeff Carter - 22.8 pts - Minnesota Wild
7. Boone Jenner - 22.8 pts - Minnesota Wild
8. Jamie McGinn - 22.2 pts - Toronto Maple Leafs
9. Braden Holtby - 20.8 pts - New York Rangers
10. Derrick Brassard - 20.1 pts - Toronto Maple Leafs
I'm confused by this list. Would the Conn Smythe not count for the best player in the playoffs, up until the team is eliminated? In this case, I'm showing Parise as top of the list with 38.6 points. Obviously any points from now onwards wouldn't count towards the totals, but it should still count in the ranking, no?
