Hey, why don't we stop trying to overshadow the great season people had by bickering about which players broke out more than others?

finally you've got me <a href='index.php?showuser=2236' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-73'>Wally</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2327' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-69'>ztevans</a> nominated for the Mexico award, and if I'm correct this will be the first time someone from S31 wins that award, so congrats to my S31 brothers!
Like if I was nominated and didn't win I wouldn't be upset. That doesn't bother me Abes had an excellent season but to have a fluke 35 point season to too sub 30 seasons to 49 and not be nominated that's what I don't get. Pulling for Abes for the award

Counter argument, literally the same thing can be said for Xander Green. 26, 17, 36. Only a 10 point jump compared to 15 for Caelum as a defenseman.
I agree which is why I don't really think Green should have been a nominee.
He was nommed for the Jesster 2 seasons ago.
I don't think having a decent season, regressing, then going back to being pretty good constitutes breaking out.
I think Abes should be the easy winner, regardless of the reasoning he went from a 10 point player to a 50 point player.
If we want to talk about looking back though how about going from 16 points to 30 to 41 to 56 and being the youngest player in the top 10 in scoring while also putting up 150 hits
