EK's not going to win it because of the old farts voting. Even Garrioch when asked named Lindstrom first (again)... and had no real good reason for it.
Not enough voters watch him and see his stats and think he's another Mike Green (actually, better than Green). And they are wrong - the kid plays very good defense.

my feeling is he will get passed over just because he's so young. the voters will feel that he will win enough in the future so give it to a more established player now.
look at last year? Lidstrom won as a minus player. nothing against Listrom, he's great, but that is just a stupid as it gets.

going to be tons more debate about this as the season come to an end
