I went with Ovechkin because without him the Capitals wouldn't have made the playoffs and they would be nowhere. Both Iginla and Malkin have good supporting casts on their respective teams.

Ovechkin..... but why do I see alot of Ovechkin/ Malkin battles for this trophy for years to come.

[Sam1410]

Ovie - this is an easy one.

I love Iggy and Malkin had a great year, but when you win the scoring title, the Rocket Richard title and lead a really lousy team to the playoffs you get the big shiny trophy.....

[Isles4life]

While Malkin came on incredibly strong in the absence of Sidney Crosby, and proved to be arguably more valuable than Sid to the Pens winning in the regular season, it took that injury for him to raise his game to the dominant level. However, Ovechkin was there for pretty much the whole year, and without him, there's no way in hell the Caps come anywhere near a playoff spot.

Iginla might have had the most points this year, but I think Ovechkin was still the best player in the league (since Crosby was hurt) ... but after this year, Ovechkin is really challenging Crosby for that "best player in the league" title. Ovechkin is an incredible, all-around player. He gets my vote for this award. He's the future of the NHL and was a major part of of Caps making the playoffs this season. Major props to Ovy ... he has some real hockey talent.

[Killah_punk]

Getting the Caps into the playoffs was huge, Ovie is a awesome player, and had a very good season.

Voted for AO mainly because he dominated but Malkin should get some love from the voters.

[The DZA]

if any writers dont give AO their first place vote they should be fired

[Janssen25]

Ovechkin is a lock.

[fansince65]

Ovechkin .. Why even bother putting any-one else on the list ...

[NJDevils17]

Pretty easy choice. Ovechkin obviously.

I feel almost guilty.. even stupid, for not picking Ovechkin.

But I went with Malkin.
