Came here to say this before the poll closed.Barkov and I don't think it's honestly close.
Dude is one of the most underrated 2 way centers in hockey.
The Selke is an award for the defensive prowess of a forward. Why are you bringing up offense?69 goals is better than not 69 goals.

Not that I’d vote Matthews and I’m sure the comment was a joke, but a forward is expected to produce offense, so you need that too.The Selke is an award for the defensive prowess of a forward. Why are you bringing up offense?
I voted him too, but I have a hard time thinking it’s stupid to vote for someone else, I mean, this award is very subjective so by its nature you’d expect to have some variety of opinionsIts Barkov and anyone who votes different needs their brain examined.
Yeah, to some degree but you don't need top-tier offense or anywhere near it. Bergeron has a few seasons where he won the Selke but scored 50-60 points. Obviously, you won't win by scoring 15 points but anything above 50 is usually enough for consideration provided the defensive game is strong enough.Not that I’d vote Matthews and I’m sure the comment was a joke, but a forward is expected to produce offense, so you need that too.
