Amidst all this argument, I'd like to take a moment to throw Colton Rayne's hat in the ring for MVP. 7 goals, 34 assists for 41 points in his rookie year, playing second pairing minutes?
If that doesn't scream most valuble, then I'm a mute Indonesia goat herder.
Theres a reason the Americans are in the playoff race again, and you need look no further than the left side defenseman on the second pairing.
