Predictions
Vezina Trophy: Sergei Bobrovsky
All three goaltenders definitely deserve credit for the campaigns they put together this season, but Sergei Bobrovsky is easily the most deserving of the Vezina Trophy.
Bobrovsky posted a 2.00 goals-against mark to go with four shutouts and a .932 save percentage this season—all numbers that were better or the same as Henrik Lundqvist and Antti Niemi.
Bobrovsky was one of the lone bright spots on a Columbus Blue Jackets team that ranked 25th in goals scored and missed out on the NHL postseason, which highlights just how important he was to his team.
The 24-year-old goalie is your Vezina winner, and rightly so.
Hart Memorial Trophy: Sidney Crosby
Say what you want about Sidney Crosby's postseason performance against the Boston Bruins, but Crosby was the most valuable player to his team during the regular season and even into the playoffs against the Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders.
Crosby ranked tied for third in points this season, posting 15 goals and 41 assists while owning a plus-26 plus/minus (the last statistic absolutely blew away Alexander Ovechkin and Jonathan Tavares).
You can certainly make an argument for Ovechkin and Tavares based on their amount of game-winning goals to Crosby's, but I'm willing to bet Crosby set more of his teammates up for game-winners than Ovechkin and Tavares combined.
Crosby collects his second career Hart Memorial Trophy on Saturday night.
Calder Memorial Trophy: Brandon Saad
This one was a bit more difficult because Saad scored the least amount of points between the three candidates, but Saad posted a better plus/minus than Brendan Gallagher and Jonathan Huberdeau while taking the least amount of shots.
The fact that Saad's team is contending for the Stanley Cup speaks to how important he is to his team, especially when you consider he was fifth in points for the Chicago Blackhawks, on a roster that includes Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa.
I won't be surprised if either Gallagher or Huberdeau take the award over Saad, because quite honestly, they were all sensational in their first season.
But I'm sticking to my guns and saying Saad is your 2013 Calder Memorial Trophy winner.
