Nick Suzuki received 10 votes for Selke

Nick Suzuki received 10 votes for Selke

The NHL, without doing so in a grandiose fashion, has just announced that Aleksander Barkov has won the Selke in 2025.

Recognized for his defensive excellence, the Panthers player’s 200-foot game was recognized for the third time in his career. He also won in 2021 and 2024.

It’s well-deserved for the man who also won the King Clancy, which rewards a player’s leadership qualities.

Sam Reinhart and Anthony Cirelli, two other Florida-based players, were the official finalists for the Selke. But you know as well as I do that they weren’t the only three players to receive votes.

The three official finalists are simply the three with the most votes.

But now it’s also possible to see which players have also received votes in the Selke race. And in 13th place, we find the Canadiens’ captain, Nick Suzuki.

Now that’s something.

Of all those who didn’t get a first-place vote, he ranks first in terms of points. In other words, the top 12 all received at least one first-place vote.

So we can see that he got one second-place vote (no mean feat) as well as two third-place votes, two fourth-place votes and five fifth-place votes.

Even so, this is less than last year.

Last year, he received 14 votes. However, he didn’t get a third-place vote, as this was divided into one second-place vote, five fourth-place votes and eight fifth-place votes.

2 votes for 3rd place
2 votes for 4th place
5 votes for 5th place

Given that the Canadiens’ captain is getting better every year and is often compared to Patrice Bergeron, I wouldn’t be surprised if one day he’s in a position to win one.

But for that to happen, he’ll need to gain more experience.

– Confirmed.

It has been confirmed to me that the Canadiens have retained the rights to Quentin Miller, a Québécois goaltender.

He would normally be under contract by June 1, 2025, but his rights will officially be extended.
