Dan's been a beast on the transaction boards this year.  Jared also dominated FA, but he's won this award two years in a row - so screw him!

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)

This was SO hard for me.  Tyler and his Ducks are a wagon and it's truly amazing what Cally has done with Florida.  However, NOBODY (not even Florida) started with less than Ryan did when he took over this team.  This team was Calgary when we launched in 2011 and when Ryan took over he inherited Mike Smith and a barrel of goat feces.  Brad Richards was his top offensive player.  Much kudos to you sir.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)

Quick disclaimer - I use Fantrax eligibility to evaluate these positions.  If a player is C eligible but mostly plays the wing in real life it does not matter for me.  If fantasy says he's a Center, then he's a center in my book... You all may use whatever parameters you see fit to decide on your votes.  I see Anaheim as having the best 3 headed monster at the C position in Tavares, Seguin and Galchenyuk.  They also have some nice depth pieces to augment their stars.

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)

Ovechkin.  Not much else, but doesn't need much else.  Carolina is a close 2nd for me with Pavelski, Couture and Bobby Ryan.

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)

Tarasenko + Stamkos + Backes = nasty!

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)

I was close to choosing Anaheim here because I think they have the best defensive depth in the league.  But I couldn't resist voting for the team with Karlsson and Letang. 

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)

Landslide here.  Colorado is the only team who is close IMO.  Schneider, Hiller, Elliott and Lehner.  Goalie depth like this is unheard of.  Cally does love his goalies.  You should offer him a trade for one of his goalies, if you don't like your first born...

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)

Soooo close to making the dance and this team is probably better than 2 or 3 teams that did make it.  Jean will make it next year, assuming he hasn't inherited LA's luck.

-The Gordie Howe Award (most active on the board)
      I will vote for myself and my teams inability to keep a 7th defenseman healthy, resulting in many transactions.

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)
       Undoubtedly for me it is the Florida Panthers.  Can't argue with that turn around.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)
      Colorado has Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby.  I vote yes for them every time.

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)
     Ducks win this for me with Parise, Benn, Palat and Galchenyuk. 

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)
    Hurricanes have Pavelski, Blake Wheeler, Wayne Simmonds, and Kyle Okposo.  That is the bees pajamas there.

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)
     Florida has basically everyone you want with Karlsson, Letang and Subban. 

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)
     Kings with Price and Quick.

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)
     I'm going to go with the Blues.  They would easily be in the playoffs if Lundqvist didn't get hit in the throat with a puck.  Goalies specifically have a piece of equipment to prevent this from every happening, but his own teammate lifted the protector as the puck was rocketed at his face.  Bad Juju.

Gypsie.  His write ups are great through out the year!

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)

I would love to vote for myself here, but I'm going to vote for Tyler.  Cally has done a great job, but I think I get to see Tyler's Ducks more and that makes me appreciate his work a little more.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)

Ducks.

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)

Ducks.

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)

Blues.  I love Tarasenko

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)

Florida.  If anyone else gets votes it will be a shock.

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)

Kings.  I like having two studs, and they have them.

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)

I'm going to go with the Blues.  Tough division and losing the King really hurt and was unfortunate down the stretch

I have to choose between and I will go with

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)
:CAL: because they lost against a pee-wee team  
For real I will say

[Tyler]

-The Gordie Howe Award (most active on the board)

There are a few between Rob, Jared, Norry et al. But Gypsie takes the cake with his Power Rankings.... They never disappoint and just another reason to love this league

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)

Toss up here between Arizona & Florida.... How can you discount a team that makes such a turnaround. After going back and forth I will choose Arizona. My reasoning is what he had to work with was AWFUL and took his time to rebuild this into a great sexy team. Not an easy task.

I have to give Cally some major props with his daft moves acquiring youth that really started to produce, he will be a major threat for years to come.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)

Seeing as I will never vote for myself I will say COL, a team having Gino and Sid is pretty OK I guess.....

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)

Maybe a little off the board, but CAR has 3 in the Top 20 due to dual eligibility with Ryan, Couture and Pavelksi... that's a pretty tasty combo

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)

I like STL here with tarasenko, Backes and Stamkos

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)

Florida... not sure how one argues with Karlsson, Letang and Subban

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)

Kings have 2 in the Top 10, that's a pretty decent luxury if you ask me

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)

Poor STL.... Such an awesome team that really had god awful luck. Losing Hank was the icing on the cake for me to throw out this vote.

/GypsieDeathBringer.   Elliotte Friedman, Bob McKenzie, Darren Dreger ... GypsieDeathBringer.  The Mount Rushmore of hockey reporting.

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)

/Capn Cally.  I'm probably not qualified to vote on this since I haven't witnessed the last few seasons, but if the Panthers were in the toilet last year then Capn Cally did something right.  Judging by the Ducks lineup, which depresses me, Tyler could win this every year.  Much respect to Ryan; inheriting and fixing an awful team in a few seasons deserves an award too.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)

   Tavares, Seguin and say no more.  Great now and great for many years to come.

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)

   Parise, Benn and give me a break Tyler, go play in another sandbox.

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)

   Stamkos and Tarasenko and is a great one-two punch.  Honorable mention to .

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)

   Karlsson, Letang and Subban.  You need a telescope to see second place on this one.

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)

   Other teams have a better top end and are just as deserving, but the Panthers have good depth with good quality.

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team)

   The Blues had some tough luck.  That's a high quality lineup that definitely deserved to make the playoffs.  There's no mercy in the Mountain West.

Carolina

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM)
Florida

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers)
St. Louis - his depth options at center far and away surpasses Anahiems

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)
Carolina and Anahiem are a tie for me

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)
St. Louis takes this one, I fell like my avs were a close 2nd with Malkin, Perry and Callahan, St. Louis boys were just that much better.

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)
Florida

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)
LA
