2015 NHL Awards

Here are my awards for the 2014-15 NHL Season.

Hart Trophy- Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens: If it weren't for Price, who knows where the Canadiens would be. Price had a historical season behind the net and I expect Price to be great in the playoffs. I would be stunned if Price doesn't win this.
Runner up: Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals

Vezina Trophy- Price: See above.

Norris Trophy- Eric Karlsson, Ottawa Senators: Karlsson was outstanding this season on both ends. He is one of the games best and his play is a huge reason for Ottawa's resurgence into the postseason. This Norris Trophy pick was a tough call, but I decided to go with Karlsson.
Runner up: Shea Weber, Nashville Predators

Calder Trophy- Johnny Goudreau, Calgary Flames: "Johnny Hockey" has been terrific all season long. His play is a huge reason why Calgary has defied the odds and exceeded all expectations this season. Expect Goudreau to shine in the postseason.
Runner up: Aaron Ekblad, Florida Panthers

Jack Adams Award- Bob Hartley, Calgary Flames: No one saw Calgary making the playoffs before the season as they were predicted the Western Conference cellar-dwellers. Hartley got a lot out of this team and don't be surprised if they make some noise during the playoffs.
Runner up: Paul Maurice, Winnipeg Jets

Selke Trophy- Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins: Bergeron is a great defensive forward who is very valuable to his team. The B's did not qualify for the postseason, but that doesn't stop a player who's great at face-offs and plays great defense from winning this award.
Runner up: Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks
