Vezina Trophy
Finally, the individual award I am most intrigued by when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs, is the Vezina Trophy.
The award given to the best goalie in the league going to a goaltender from Toronto this year would be an incredible story. For this to happen one of Petr Mrazek (+1700) or Jack Campbell (+2500) would have to separate themselves as the number one man in Toronto.
The odds seem to predict that Mrazek has the better chance at breaking away and becoming the number one netminder, but that is not how I see it.
Campbell is already established on the Toronto Maple Leafs, after an incredible run last season and if he can carry that success into this season I see no reason why he would not be in the Vezina conversation at the end of the year.
With Mrazek pushing Campbell internally to be his absolute best every night, and Sheldon Keefe getting a legitimate full training camp to establish his system, we could see a stingy Maple Leafs team in front of a solid goaltending duo.
If either Mrazek or Campbell plays over 50 games this season, and I assume one of them will, that will be enough to propel them into Vezina candidacy.
