Norris: Rielly
Vezina: Fleury
Calder: Pettersson
Hart: McDavid
Adams: Trotz
Richard: Tavares
Norris - Rielly
Vezina - Fleury
Hart - MacKinnon
**Bold Prediction - McDavid won't get a fiinalist nomination for the Hart this year. Edm's just too bad and too many other players are having career years.
The value of Rielly in Tor cannot be understated - not to mention he's toe-to-toe in pts with Gio, Burns, EK. I've taken MacKinnon with the expectation of a huge, dominant second half (it's no fun taking all front runners)

Norris: Karlsson (with a monster 2nd half that's just getting started)
Vezina: M. Murray (I picked him at the start of the year and he probably doesn't get it but he's looked good lately so I'll stick with my pick)
Calder: I'd like to go out on a limb but pettersson is the only logical choice
Hart: McDavid (he finds a way to separate himself from the top of the pack in the 2nd half despite the anchors on his wings)
Richard: I'll take Laine because when you can score 5 goals in a game you're never out of it
Trying to go out on a limb on a few.

IR (2 max):
I'm not saying he's a bum, but its not really surprising that some Dman on TOR is putting up a ton of points considering who else is on the team. You really think he is doing much more than any other capable dman would do?? What if it was Carlson or Josi or something? They wouldn't be piling up points playing with Tavares/Marner/Matthews?

Midway through last year, I think Pietrangelo seemed a lock for the Norris and Kucherov was running away with the scoring title and the Hart.
My guess is that, although some things seem set right now, there'll be some shake-ups.
So I'll make some bold(ish) predictions:
Norris: Karlsson (not so bold, but en fuego)
Vezina: Lehner (his numbers are pretty good, just needs Ws)
Art Ross: McDavid
Hart: Crosby (would a monster second half surprise anyone?)
Calder: Rittich (I think he's eligible, isn't he? And Pettersson's injury is a tad worrisome)
Adams: Montgomery (taking a horsesh*t team to the playoffs)
Points-only, Full Keeper Dynasty League
Active roster (no starts, just total points): 12 FW, 6 D, 1 Goalie
Forwards: Kucherov, Barkov, Teravainen, Seguin, Hoffman, Lindholm, Gusev, Horvat, Meier, Perron, Schwartz, Johansen, Pavelski, Buchnevich, Hischier, Granlund, Bracco
Defense: Josi, Dahlin, Letang, Gostisbehere, Ekman-Larsson, Petry, Slavin, Keith, Matheson
Goal: Lehner, Holtby, Varlamov
Farm: Soderstrom, York, Woo, Tracey, Dorofeyev
Themed to be different:
Norris: Giordano (3rd in D scoring, definite possibility)
Vezina: Rittich (Of course not likely but he's #7 in GAA and just outside the top 10 in SV% and Wins among qualified leaders. If the team stays hot and he plays most of the second half, who knows what his numbers could look like)
Art Ross: Gaudreau (Joint 3rd in overall scoring. Not the favourite but a strong second half could keep him in the running)
Hart: Gaudreau (see above, and especially if they win the Pacific or at least have a high seed, it might sway some voters)
Calder: Rittich (If eligible, a strong second half gives him a chance)
Adams: Peters (A year after the team missed the playoffs, they are one of the best in the West)
Not entirely serious, of course, but some aren't too far off being in consideration for their respective awards.
