-Dermott voted best offensive defenceman in Western Conference
-Marner voted best stickhandler and best playmaker in Western Conference

Interesting to see Ho-Sang in there several times. Must not be quite the parish some make him out to be.
 
No problem, Bullfrog.

He still oozes skill. And he was drafted in 2014, so he's a 20 year old in a junior league, so he really should be on such lists.

Too bad he also oozes surly ego.

Yeah. There's never been much question of his skills. The issues have always been with his attitude, and whether he'll put in the time and effort it'll take to translate those skills to the NHL level.

Saw him play the other night, he's got hands.

Yeah but he doesn't have the tools to put it all together, not just between his ears. I mean he's not even amongst the top in points. Draft eligible players are looking far better.

I actually had a dream last night that the Leafs traded Gardiner for Crouse.  I woke up happy that it was only a dream.
