Hoffman has led the team in scoring his first two full seasons. You want him to be a Selke finalist as well?

Hoffman has not been good, but apart from not scoring goals, he's been pretty much the same as the last two years.
Turris hasn't been as good as we've seen in the past but it could also be that Stone, after missing camp, has been weighing him down.
Pretty much the whole team with the exception of what should be our fourth line (Dzeingel-Kelly-Neil) have played below expectations. OK, maybe I should add Karlsson there -- he's still leading the team in scoring, going at a PPG+ pace, while playing a regular PK shift and keeping his shifts to under 1 minute (buying into Boucher's system).
So to single out Hoffman is, while predictable, coming from you, is a little short-sighted in light of everything else happening on this team.

I am not at all disappointed by the Sens' record but, like I said, apart from that 4th line I find the forward corps to be a little behind where I hoped they would be. Understandably -- Stone missed most of the pre-season and MacArthur is out.
