There is no question that without Connor Tanner, we are not in the playoffs. With twenty-seven goals, second overall in the league, and thirty-three assists, fourth overall, Connor is the anchor of this team. That combines for sixty points total which is second only to Paddy Kane-Rielly. PKR is playing on a more stacked team and surrounded by stronger players so it only makes sense for him to have more. When you want to discuss the MVP, however, the discussion should start and end with Connor Tanner. He elevates the players around him as opposed to relying on them to lift him. He put the Militia on his back this season and carried them to the playoffs. What they have accomplished since then is nothing short of miraculous. Just how big of a crater his departure will leave in Montreal remains to be seen. But Season 38 should be remembers for Connor if nothing else. He also averaged a minute less a game than PKR which adds up over time. Give him that minute and there is no doubt that he is the points leader this season. If he is not given the MVP award this season the entire awards committee needs to resign.
