1. Nathan MacKinnon
2. Taylor Hall
3. Anze Kopitar
4. Alex Ovechkin
5 .Nikita Kucherov
BTW: NHL.com writers don't vote for the awards. This is only if we did vote.

In my mind, it was very close for MacKinnon, Hall and Kopitar. Could have put any one of those three first. It was basically splitting hairs.
Eventually, i had it down to MacKinnon and Hall and went with the center. And even now I thinking maybe I should have picked Kopitar. twitter.com/danbab1981/sta…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/10/2018 12:47:24 PM -
There are tons of players who were in the conversation. So many this season it was difficult to pick just 5.
Giroux didn't make my top 5, but he was 5th in the NHL.com voting. twitter.com/FrancisM2H/sta…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/10/2018 12:54:48 PM -
Hall definitely has a legitimate chance. He was a very close second in the NHL.com voting. We have writers in California, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton/Winnipeg, DC, Boston and NY/NJ. twitter.com/Chris_Amos54/s…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/10/2018 1:03:33 PM

A @CapitalsRadio reminder for the series against Columbus. Some games will be on 99.1 FM (coverage map below) instead of 106.7. Games 1 and 3 this round will be on 99.1, Games 2 and 4 will be on 106.7 FM per usual. All games on Caps Radio 24/7 and the Caps App like always. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DabScnYU8AQVSoD.jpg
